A routine veterinary check turned into comic chaos when Armani, a male Labrador-mix born in 2013, had his anal glands emptied at Tierarztpraxis-Herbede.

Veterinarian Patrizia Marcol, who has worked in the field for 17 years, explained that congestion required extra pressure, leading to an unexpected “explosion” that spread across the room. Armani, a regular patient treated for osteoarthritis, appeared embarrassed in the clip, with shaking legs and a wagging tail, though he still loves visiting the clinic for treats.

„Armani“ is a male Labrador-Mix dog Born 2013. He is a patient who visits our veterinary clinic Tierarztpraxis-Herbede (in Witten, Germany) regularly to treat his osteoarthritis with injections. This time, Sept 23 2025, the pet owner asked me to also check his dogs anal glands. They were really full. Usually it’s easy to empty them, but there was a reason the dog couldn‘t empty them himself - a congestion. I (Patrizia Marcol, working as a vet since 17 years) needed a little more pressure to express the content, finally it spreaded in the room, happy and freed. It’s a very intense, special smell you won’t forget when you smelled it once.
„Armani“ loves to visit the clinic, he pulls in and enjoys the treats he gets. In the video it looks like he shitet himself because of fear and that he might be a little bit embarassed after it. A really good example of vet life and the humour we need.
