How would you describe the odour of anal gland secretion? The reason I ask is because my cat got really excited and suddenly there were drops of something on the ground.

Recently, we took my yellow lab to the vet and I was perplexed. The vet squeezed my dogs anal glands. He said she was full and they really needed to be done. What is this and why should it be done? What causes a build up of “gunk” in her anal glands? What is the “gunk”?
