Stools can be firm and either small or large-ish. I have found that small (narrow) firm stools are not effective at expressing the anal glands. Fiber usually helps to bulk them up some.
Surgery does seem drastic for her age. I like to think they will grow out of it or eventually you will find something that works for her. Learning how to do it yourself is a definite option, it's not hard to do at all.
