[Maximo]

I am an advocate of using proper diet to express glands naturally and saving manual expressing for only when it is absolutely necessary. I would discontinue manually expressing her glands after each bath. Try adding green beans or baby sweet peas to her diet to ensure firm stools with enough bulk to naturally express the glands.

Use frozen, no added salt veggies. I microwave peas in a little water and cool them down with cool water. My 7 and 8 pound boys have about half a teaspoon of peas a day. They never need their glands expressed.
