He just had his glands expressed about one month ago. Any suggestions?
Once a month is about an average.......expressing them more often then tend to fill up. However, some dogs need more than others. The fish smell is because the anal glands need expressing.

Do you do it, have the vet do it or the groomer. If you don't know how have the vet teach you how.
