This is done by one or more of the following methods: back blows, manual chest thrusts, and finger sweeps.

Stud tail in dogs, medically referred to as tail gland hyperplasia or tail gland infection is not a very common condition. Not all dogs are prone to this, but some dogs may sometimes develop hair loss and swelling of the supracaudal gland. While some dogs may need a course of antibiotics in severe cases, sometimes a mild case of dog stud tail can be treated at home using over-the-counter products.
