Some dogs have more of a problem with expressing their glands so once the glands are emptied manually they will just fill back up. Have you tried changing her food?

My chihuahua had this problem, but since we changed her food to Natural Balance Duck and Potato she hasn't had a problem at all.

Our vet says to pay close attention if they do have a problem as the glands can become infected (abscessed) and rupture. This would require an emergency vet visit.
