Joey had an anal reoccurring gland issue as a puppy, but never any infection. I'm not sure if he outgrew it, or the tsp of ground flax seed he gets each night helps. We also added about 5 green beans to his nightly meal, and this was for a diet measure the vet suggested since he had gained weight during a tricks training glass. Both of these things could affect the anal glands by increasing the "bulk", and perhaps making it easier for him to empty the anal gland contents on his own. All I really know is it use to be a monthly thing, and then it stopped. |
