Some of you may or may not have read the thread that I started last night about poor little Stedman being constipated.
The thread is located here:

Hubby and I are beginning to think that this whole thing could possibly be because he needs his anal glands expressed. Hubby tried to do this a couple of weeks ago (I'm scared to death to do it because I'm so afraid I will hurt him
) - what exactly is the best way to do this? Maybe he isn't doing it right? I looked it up online and a web site gave us instructions - but it didn't seem to work. Hubby is watching some video on his laptop now that will hopefully help, but I of course had to come here and ask also.
The video that he is watching now just said to squeeze from the OUTSIDE...however, the web site that I found a couple of weeks ago said that you are supposed to insert your finger (YUCK!!) into you-know-where
but THAT is what didn't work for him. So we are totally confused here
I noticed that the back of Steddy's hiney is kind of "bulging" (none of my other babies have this) - so I am thinking that he really DOES need this done, and once it is, it may solve the whole entire problem.
Some PLEASE HELP
