So sorry your baby went through this, but you are so lucky to have caught this in time, I've read other threads where the dog had to have very invasive surgery after glands became impacted, and glands had to be removed. |
Thank you.
I've never done it . . .it's best, IMO, for a professional to do it . . .I couldn't imagine doing that . .. just hearing him this morning practically scream was enough for me . . .the poor guy was in pain . . .
