[Dailydrool] Anal glands..........!

[DAISY7521 at aol.com]

Hi everyone, well, just wondering if anyone out there, has learned how to  
express their furbabies anal glands when needed?
We went into the vet, for an infection Honey got on her toes, from the  grass 
or twigs etc. maybe poking her, maybe even a itchy mosquito bite, but then  
had the vet check their anal glands, just for the heck of it.  Honey  scoots 
occasionally, but Dottie never does.  Vet man said, YES!!  both  their butts are 
very full!
He expressed Honey and Dottie, and it was incredible, how much stuff was in  
there, poor little girls!  Vet man said, it is easy to do, and he would  show 
me how gladly.  Otherwise, it is $24. a girl to get it done.
I asked them if Bassets are a common breed for this, and he said not  
necessarily, it is usually the smaller breed that needs it done.  I always  thought 
they expressed by themselves when they pooooo poooooed.
Does anyone else do it to their doggies?
The vet tech gal there said she does it to her dogs, and doggies that come  
in and need it, and it doesn't bother her a bit, she said she actually kind of  
"likes" to do it.........????
Thoughts, advice, suggestions, are certainly welcome.....
Barbie and her girls with clean anal glands  now.......whew!
