PS: I don't agee with this person's descriptions towards the end... but her method is right on.
Wow. She makes it look so easy! Thanks for posting that. I think I'll start by just feeling around to see if I can even feel the glands. I have a vet appt next week. So maybe I'll try to do it at the office with my vet. I'll freak out if I do it wrong...and I'm sure that Yoshi will too
