I feel so sorry for your baby, It seems like your dog is going to have to have his glands checked more often and you might ask the vet to teach you how to empty them yourself. Your groomer should have done this for you but this is something you can take responsibility for and do yourself. Some dogs need this done every week and some never need it done, but now you know your dog has a problem with its glands, so it is up to you to make sure you keep an eye on them. If it gets to be to much there is a surgery the vets can do to take them out , but I can tell you the vets hate to do this surgery. I am not sure why, but I will ask the next time I talk to my vet. I am thinking the space and the place makes this a difficult operation.
I have found this only gets worse with age, so I suggest you learn how to empty the glands yourself, it is not hard at all.
