If there is a defect in structure in regards to the glands themselves, then dietary changes won't modify your results any.

On the flip side, if your dog is leaking from her anal glands or they are being expressed involuntarily, I would seek advice regarding surgery from your vet. That too can equally be a problem. |
She is expressing them involuntarily; but not when she is supposed to ( when she is doing her business outside). I've already talked to my vet and they gave me the option of surgery which I am reluctant in doing. In my research I have found that because it is such a delicate area that it can negatively affect their ability to go to the bathroom (as in unable to control it). But the way in which she expresses it and the frequency is quite alarming.
