Groomer's don't go all the way in, they express them from the outside. This does not get all the fluid out and they will fill up faster.
Always, ALWAYS get their anal's expressed at the Vet. |
My vet explained if they are having healthy poops, they express themselves every time they go to the toilet. Not having proper poops they can fill up and so lead to an infection, only a person properly trained to do it should be (preferably your vet, they were willing to teach me, so I don't have to pay someone if I ever needed to).
healthy anal glands don't need expressing, was my point and groomers just do it as part of the service and my vet said that is completely unnecessary and should stop. I asked this advise for my friend who told me her groomer was doing it every visit
