To avoid the problem I express the anal gland every time I bath. It is easy to do and will most likely save some vet bills in the long run. I learned the expensive way. Have had two over the years with infected anal glands and had vet bills. It wasn't until a Yorkie friend told me to express the anal glands at bath time did I learn. The vets never told me I could do that myself. Good luck!
