 To express or not to express?
See I was wondering this for one of our friends had a poodle and she said something about this gland. I told her I don't think Yorkee's has to have it done. I'm taking Teddy to the groomer for the 1st time Tue. and she said she would do it with her fee to groom him (I groom him myself but he won't let me trim his paws) so I thought well we have to have his paws trimmed for we live in Indiana and get COLD & SNOWY weather here and I don't want that all over them or my floors when we take them out. Now on the other hand Tiffy will let me (They use to be vise versa...Teddy let me and Tiffy wouldn't...LOL but my husband would help hold her and she's bigger too, we we're afraid we'd hurt Teddy legs) and she said she would express Tiffy's for $5.00...I've notice Teddy scooting across the floor too & he has NO worms either and I've never seen Tiffy scoot. Do females have to be done? Should I have her done?? Teddy is now 13.5 months old and Tiffy is 11.5 months old NEITHER has ever had this done before for I had NO idea we had to do it on Yorkees...Until Friday when I called the groomer. I guess we all learn something new everyday! Hugs, Lee |
