What should I do if my golden retriever suffers from constipation?

There is a gland on the left and right sides of the Golden Retriever's buttocks called anal glands, which will automatically squeeze and secrete liquid when defecating, making it easier for the poop to pass out smoothly. If you feel that the anal glands are hard and bulging, it is probably blocked.
