We have a 130 lb. 5 year old Chesapeke Bay Retriever. The vet says he has trouble with full annal glands, so we take him in about once a month to have them...purged. Max is an awesome retriever/hunter with a very nice demeanor except when he starts...
We have a 5 year old Chessie that chases his tail, mainly after hiking, hunting, or being left alone. He bit his tail last year and it would not heal so the vet had to remove about 6 inches of it.
