I don't think a vet will laugh at you bc of anal glands. My 1st yorkie had anal gland issues and had to go to the vet on a regular basis to have them expressed - she could not express on her own. Some groomers also express anal glands if you ask. I would get him to a vet, preferably a new one, because he is probably very uncomfortable.
