The Jack Russell X Papillon came in for vaccination. The owner thought that the reddish-brown saliva stains below the tail and  and around the anal areas are normal. It is not. It is due to irritation and itchiness from the impacted anal sacs. These sacs were expressed, showing viscous dark brown oil stuck inside the anal sacs. 

The blood was collected for health screening. It was thicker than normal. The dog is otherwise normal.
