Do you ever have to do it sows or just boars?

Just boars.
That pig is so good about the whole thing! Good thing you don't have to do girls because I doubt Amy and Quinn would cooperate.

*Blushes* Yes that would be Mojo and Me.

I've only ever had to do this with males and from what I know, sows don't need it done.

Felix looks nothing like that when I clean him! He squirms and throws a fit.

I would ask your vet, mine doesn't and as far as I know most vets don't. Groomers might for a fee, but I would show them the video first. I do a few friends (they always give me money but I always say its free ;) ). Thankfully you don't need to do it often unless they are really icky.

I'm making this a sticky thread so it'll be at the top of the Medical and Veterinary Forum, and we can just point people at it. Thanks, Erin!

That's awesome, that was actually the first video i ever watched on anal sac cleaning and it was really helpful, I had no idea it was yours! :)

I'm glad it was helpful :) .
Before making it there was only one other video on photobucket, which unless you know the link or someone who does its hard to find. So I made this one. You have no idea the spam and hate mail I got with this. Many of which I removed and reported. Things like I am sexually abusing him, I am a sick *beep* and so on. People who have no idea what I am doing or why. Trolls, got to love them.

I found that video and one by @(broken link removed) of her guinea pig Charlie to be super helpful to me when I learned how to clean my boys. I had not known that was something that had to be done before I found this website. It is not a pleasant task but once you've done it once or twice it is just another thing to do and stops being so 'icky'.

@(broken link removed) I am sorry you received so much harassment because of it! Hopefully it helps to know to you've helped out a lot of people on how to take care of their boars properly. Though I am not sure my boys would thank you for it lol

That was super informative and easy to follow! How early do you need to start cleaning your boys' parts?

Oh goodness. You have to clean their anal sacs?! I did not realize this. My boys are gonna hate me when I clean them for the first time! They just turned a year old too. They must be really dirty. :(

Thanks for posting this! Hopefully it won't be too bad... ugh.
