[Dailydrool] Anal Gland Surgery

[Sarah Webb]

Long story short:  Droopy had infections a few times, the last one was AWFUL
and ended up rupturing.  After that, i decided to have them removed.  At the
young age of 10 he underwent the surgery.  it involved pre-op blood work and
an overnight stay at the vetspital.  he did fine, healed up within a week,
and has had NO side effects from the procedure.

My advice: if your vet feels your pup is up for it, and is willing to take
all of the pre-op precautions, go for it.  Things are much much better here
with the glands gone.  not to mention i'm saving 100 bucks a month on
expression, vet visits, and antibiotics.  all in all i believe the surgery,
bloodwork, etc etc was around 1000 bucks.  Good luck!
