Not The Vets' Again (Pic-free):( (Day 285)

       Today Yogi was NOT a 'Happy Chappy". He started off this morning not as 'bouncy' as he usually is first thing in the morning..and didn't want to go outside when I opened the door, either.
A while later, he went outside, for about 10 minutes, but when he came back in, walking 'strangely', but worst of all,  he had a 'smell' about him!! No..NOT "Skunk" smell, (we don't have them here in Australia!)  I gotta admit here..I was NOT looking forward to what I HAD to do!
I went to the kitchen, got a set of rubber gloves, walked over to Yogi, (who was trying NOT to sit), lifted his tail..and what do you know?! MESSY!!..
I think poor Yogi knew what was gonna happen next, when he saw me running a bath!  He was very 'demure' during this 'indignity'.. but I only managed to get his rear end wet and washed enough to get rid of 1/2 the 'mess'.  He wouldn't let me do anymore..so, to stop stressing him, I got him out of the bath, dried him as much as he'd let me, then he went outside again. 
I followed to see what he was up to, and again, he was 'toileting', well, TRYING to, anyways. The problem I could see was that he was 'going', but nothing was forth-coming!  This time, I rang the Vet and explained what was happening. Yogi got an appointment soon after.
I took Yogi to his 'favorite peoples' at the Pet Universe Clinic (Northgate, Sth Aust.).   After some examinations, and tests, it seems the problem all along was that his Anal Glands were almost 'full'.!! (Apparently this has an affect on a dog's 'toileting' due to pain involved.!)
Anyway, to cut a long story short, Yogi was given some painkillers, a Laxative,(to be administered at home.just in case) and his Anal Glands were emptied. Poor puppy..he had to endure ANOTHER bath! But at least this time I DID manage to get him clean and smelling 'Yogi-ish" again!  He finally started acting 'normal'..(for Yogi, at least).. so I got the camera out and 'set up'..but then I think the injection he'd received kicked in!  He's been avoiding eye contact with me, understandable. He's REFUSED TREATS!!  ( THAT"S a 1st!!)
Then he went and curled up on 'his' chair, (which is where these pics were taken), and hasn't moved much, I didn't want to stress him further after what happened with the Vet, so I only took a couple of pictures.
Now, to top off a 'not so nice' day, the photos I took won't upload onto here! 
I just might have to post this part of the blog picture-free, and upload the pics as soon as I can.  I really DO apologise for this..but..as the blog page says.."This blog is having Technical Difficulties'..
