Again, I'm not a vet, etc., etc.
Assuming the vet there expressed the glands the same way as Katy's vet, it was done internally--a very "hands on" procedure. At least I would suspect that a growth nearby would have been detected.
After each procedure, I was always given a run down (usually in great detail). Katy was never impacted, nor was there ever any indication of a related infection that might have triggered the prescription for antibiotics. |
