About how long does a ruptured anal gland for a dog take to heal? Are there any specific treatments for it? General Dog Discussions
My dog has recently ruptured her anal gland and I was wondering how long it would take to heal completely, or at least until there is not an open wound to easily let infection or debris in. When she ruptured her anal gland, we cleaned out the wound, applied antibiotic ointment, and put a cone over so she wouldn't lick the wound. Is there any special treatment we must provide for it to heal better? Or should we just periodically apply ointment? And about how long will it take to heal?
