I talked to a staff member at my veternary hospital and she seemed to think that expressing the glands is something that they prefer doing. She said that to express them they have to do it from inside rather than just applying pressure to the outside. I did not tell her the breed of my dog though just that she was a puppy, maybe it is different for different breeds? She also said that puppies rarely need that done. I was relieved to not have to do it myself because I wouldn't know how. |
