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 |
Peanut has normal BM’s all the time he is very healthy, however he needs to have his anal’s expressed. I know how to express them, but Peanut won’t allow me to do it. He won’t even allow me to cut his nails.
Groomers don’t do it correctly. What I was getting at is if someone’s pet was biting at his bum or butt scooting more than likely they will need their anal’s expressed, just because they aren't sick, showing infection or swollen doesn't mean they don’t need them expressed.
