What can I do to minimize her glands from leaking like they do? She has had multiple issues since my last post. She is a very good eater and pooper. My older baby poops apprx twice a day, but Tia seems to go a lot more. I feed both girls Nutro Natural Lamb & Rice Small Bites and really want to stick with it. I am going to ask the vet, but thought YT would give us some good suggestions too.
Tia would appreciate any help, as she is being banned from furniture and she doesn't know what to do. Mommy feels really bad that she's sitting on the floor! |
I didn't read that she has had a thorough exam from the vet...did she? The vet really needs to rule out that there is nothing wrong structurally. Was a stool sample done?
If everything structurally is sound, I'd recommend you switch her food asap. Some dogs' anal gland problems come straight from the fact that the food they're eating is irritating their GI system, resulting in irritated and full anal glands. I know you say you want to stick w/ Nutro, but if another type of food/protein source/carb source etc would solve the problem, it's worth giving up that food.
