<DIV>First I want to wish everyone a happy fourth of July, as many of you my
Maggie will be scared , so the air conditioner will be turned up on high even
though it has been a very cool week for Northen Ohio and all the TV's will
be on and turned up , whatever it takes to divert the noise, there are
actually several towns around us also having their fireworks tonight and
they are pretty close so we will be surrounded by it tonight, we have our work
cut out for us.</DIV>
<DIV>Now on to the big question, my Maggie Wags has had
problems with her anal glands since she was just a young pup, they
are seated deep and she can not express them herself, we have tried
pumpkin, no help. any ways when they express her glands ( every two
weeks ) she is full and she screams when they do it, even after they are
done, she will whine and cry for the next 20 minutes, so they must be painful
for her, the vet suggested today that maybe we should think about having them
removed, he said that it is not an easy surgery and quite painful for the dog
. I would appreciate some feedback on this, I am scared and really
hate to put her through this, but something has to change, a week after she has
them expressed, she is scooting again, I can tell just by the way she acts that
she doesn't feel good. please feel free to E Mail me off the drool with
any advice, has anyone had the surgery before ?? are there other options
?</DIV>
