[Dailydrool] Fiber

[Jane Hay]

Ok, I have a question about fiber. Jersey is our girl who has anal gland
issues to the tune of having to have them expressed at least once a month by
the vet (this is one thing that I'm not willing to do). We switched the
Houndettes food to Innova which has helped but the problem continues. I've
tried different fiber additives (pumpkin being one of them) and we switched
to a high fiber natural food at one point but all that did was to create *
very* loose stools for a couple of my girls and Jersey still had to have her
glands expressed. At this point I'm giving Jersey four baby carrots with her
breakfast and an occasional carrot to the others when I think they need it
and it seems to be helping but I know Jersey will still have to go in for
her glands before too long. Any other ideas? I'm willing to try the Fiber
One with just Jersey (that's one that I haven't tried yet) but how much
would I add to her breakfast?
