Exactly! My vet (which by the way truly is the most wonderful vet on the PLANET!! and I'm super duper particular--he stays up on all the new research...and it's obvious because I usually have already done my research on whatever the topic is that I'm asking him about) is who told me that it's just fine to do it....WHEN she needs it done! I would never express them if they weren't "full". You can feel if they are.
