Ok, I have a question re anal glands (expressing them). Do you express your little gal/guy anal glands? If so, how do you do it and how often? Ailee started scooting one day and sort of seemed like she didn't want to go potty (seemed embarrassed by the whole thing). She rubbed the carpet with her little butt but I'm not sure if they were released completely or if I should take her to the vet. She scooted her butt once or twice one day and then did it a 2nd day. I haven't seen her do it since. How do I know if it still causing her discomfort, are there signs to look for? Or should I just take her to the vet to double check, I surely don't want her to fall ill. Any suggestions advice is greatly appreciated.
