==Description==
==Description==
The most common disease of the anal sacs where the sac becomes impacted by a viscous, grey-brown secretion. It is caused by a failure of the sacs to empty normally during defecation, obesity, poor muscle tone and generalized seborrhea. The retained secretion can encourage bacterial overgrowth and therefore infection and inflammation.

==Prognosis==
Some cases may require regular expression but generally the prognosis is excellent. Certain cases may become chronic or infected leading to [[Anal Sacculitis|Anal Sacculitis]] or [[Anal Sac Abscessation|Anal Sac Abscessation]].
