I have read on a maltese forum that they have to have their anal glands expressed. What does that mean and is this true?
Would appreciate any responses please
My two Bichons do this now and then, too. Could be anal glands need to be expressed or worms, but I think it's usually just because it feels good! Mine get their anal glands expressed (only if needed) by the groomer every 4 weeks and they get checked for worms regularly, so I don't think it's a consideration with them. They both do this now and then and I think it's just because it feels good, like some people scratch their nose.
