https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/29446/anal-hypertrophy-in-boxer-pup Hi there, looking for some help in this unusual case. 11 week old, male Boxer pup, developed anal swelling which is progressing. It is not painful, not obviously inflamed but is getting bigger. He is the only one in the litter with this problem.en-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/228425?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 08 Feb 2021 09:05:19 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:63e70357-c7ce-4211-a8ce-c2632437ce16Jill Butterworth<p>I wonder if it might reduce with castration? I&#39;ve heard anecdotally of female Boxers getting this during their season.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/228424?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 08 Feb 2021 08:44:03 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:eae79321-a88c-4fce-96c8-61021dc6529bAllison Gleadhill<p>What was the outcome with this/ - one of my colleagues has seen something that looks identical in a boxer puppy</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/226269?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 29 Oct 2020 16:47:59 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:1a51b866-a255-49e2-a3a6-4e06e9d45b61jessica keane<p>thanks for reply, I assume we will end up just monitoring unless it changes more.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/226268?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 29 Oct 2020 16:47:02 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:6e392a4a-9515-451d-abfc-6a1efbfc7b35jessica keane<p>The owners want to sell the puppy and are concerned as we cannot guarantee that this will not cause any problems in future.</p> <p>The anus is quite huge by now about 9cm from top to bottom, but I agree at the moment only cosmetic issue.</p> <p>I had left untreated for several weeks and we decided to trial isaderm just to see if that has any effect.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/226258?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 29 Oct 2020 15:18:28 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:68e4f000-ef83-434e-ad58-1c35aa1d5743David Mills<p>This doesn&#39;t seem like a clinical issue, more cosmetic, which begs the question why does it need any treatment?</p> <p>I certainly wouldn&#39;t be throwing fusidic acid or even topical steroids at these - there is no evidence of inflammation or infection on the photos as far as I can see.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/226246?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 29 Oct 2020 12:02:37 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:a4a40848-00fb-481c-a9da-c574f3ec62a9bob lehner<p>No idea really - but I used to have a client who kept bloodhounds and they often had excessively&nbsp; sticky-out and unpleasant looking bottoms.&nbsp; &nbsp;Seemed normal for them....</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
