Default Re: Winter White - Scent gland problem

The scent glad can become infected and swollen in WW as it is so low on the ground. Adults do often have crusty secretions and staining and this is normal however swelling and a discharge is not. You can wipe with a damp cotton ball and see how it looks but an infection needs treatment with antibiotics and bathing to keep the infection draining away.
If you suspect it is infected then a vet visit is needed.
