SOME dogs have problems with the little sacs filling up - neither of my girls have ever had a problem and haven't had to have the glands expressed.... but it IS simple to do....a vet can tell you if your yorkie ever needs it

in my own experience - it isn't anything you need to worry about unless you see scooting or your yorkie itching or scratching back there...
