Baxter has an infected anal gland. He has always had hiney issues..i.e. always needed expressed, always dragging butt, always running just as soon as he finishes pooping. Anyway, we have to be very vigilant and I was getting just a bit weary, so I asked what removal surgery was and what the percentage was on incontinence resulting.

Surgery is 1300-1500 with a 20% rate of incontinence. They suggest removing one gland at a time to lower the fail rate. Of course that could double the cost.

I'm wondering if anyone has had this done, what your cost was, and did it result in incontinence. Or do you know anyone with this experience. What I'm looking at, does not look worth it. I think that is a lot of money to make him wear diapers. And I don't think he is that uncomfortable....yet.
