When an anal gland problem starts, and they get expressed, they can fill back up in a day or two and need expressing again. Can take 3 or more expressions in a week, but as the problem resolves, the glands will start working on their own, and won't overfill as fast. Sometimes a little Panalog up the butt (just to the very inside, like 1/8 - 1/4 inch) will help with any infection. Also antibiotics and increased fiber in the diet (green beans, pumpkin). |
