If the stool is always firm then it will take care of itself.
I like watching when they do it to because Bailey's face just looks so serious and liek she is getting violated... it is a bit funny.

Omg'sh, I hope what you say is true about the firm stool, and not having to do the anal thingy...Since Apple and Buzz are both on raw, they have very firm stools, so I'm hoping I don't EVER have to start having this little doozy done...I only saw one vet do it to a dachshund of mine, and oh my, I had to leave the room, it wasn't a pleasant odor ...I'd never heard of it, before then...
