Our boy Stan is about 2 1/2 yrs old, and has a really tight screw tail and tail pocket (funny, we didn’t even know he had one until we took him to a bulldog vet!) we’ve always been pretty diligent about cleaning up after he goes outside, and have been using malecetic wipes 1x day. In the past few weeks, when I’ve gone to clean his tail pocket, it’s come out light brown (along with fur). A few times with a tiny specks of light red blood.
Today though, I went to clean him after our walk and noticed his pocket was pretty red. I cleaned with malecetic wipe and got a lot of gunk out. I went back in with a tissue and more blood came out.
Am I missing a step to keep his tail pocket clean? Or does this sound like an infection? Our local vet didn’t even know he had a tail pocket or even point it out so I’m wary to go to them yet. But we have our bulldog vet we can go to. He’s not terribly bothered, and willingly let me clean him this morning.
