Default Anals

All of her symptoms are Pain. The panting, shaking and also the enlarged eyes. If you take her to the vet and tell them you want them to express her anals they don't charge an office call for thet. Normally it's between 8 and 15 dollars.I would like to know who told you that once you start doing the anals you have to do it all the time(That's Not True) I used to work for a vet and I know all too well the problems small dogs have with anals, this is why I keep telling you to have them checked. Most small dogs, not some but Most have anal gland problems. And if they have never been done that is probably exactly what is wrong with her. So stop waisting time and just do it . The worst thing that can happed is (I could be wrong). And yes you can feel if they are full if you know what you are feeling for. But if you don't know what you are doing you can do more harm then good. Also most groomers only do them from the outside and that's not the best way. You have to actually insert a thumb or finger into the rectum and go up and out at the same time. Tell the vet you want to watch so you can see what comes out.
