Brandy's vet recommends against expelling anal glands. She said that another vet in her clinic suggested it be done regularly for her patients. They did a check of the records for dogs that my vet handled and the ones that the other vet dealt with. They found that the dogs that had theirs expelled regularly had more problems in that area than the dogs who did not have them expelled. Not truly scientific, but good enough for me. Brandy eats Solid Gold and so far, no issues. Maybe she is just blessed with a good digestive system. |
