Hi Everyone,

I haven't been too active on here, My Mom was just in the hospital. She was really sick. We found out she had gall stones and had to have her Gallbladder removed! She just got out of the hospital and is home! Yeay for that!

Now it is Peanuts turn! Peanut just had his anal's expressed about 4 weeks ago at the groomer. Last night he was sitting on me and he was itching at his bum, then I smelt that smell!!!

I was like OMG what if one of his anal's busted open! ( Since my Moms cat just had anal gland surgery I have been super paranoid with Pnuts LOL)

I shaved him up and didn't see anything. I dropped him off at the vet today. I was talking to the vet tech and she told me half the time the "groomers" do not go inside so they do not express it 100% She told me she see's a lot of dogs come in with this problem that get it done at the groomer!

I guess I will be going to the vet to get his anal's done now.

It seems like Pnut's anal's fill up faster than normal? I guess I wont really know till after I get them done at the vet and see how long they last...

What about your Yorkies? Where do you get them? How often?
