Here's a couple of links that might help: Anal Glands (Sacs): Impactions, Infections & Abscesses in Dogs

The first time it expressed, the 2nd time she had trouble and she didnt want to hurt him so she left it alone. He's still eating fine, running around, etc so I don't THINK its infected b.c i read if it is infected, hes fatigue, no appetite, and fever. I guess I am looking to see if anyone has other home remedies we can try to release the glands on their own.
