| What kind of problems is your dog having after a bowel movement? Glands can be manually expressed, but it is easily done incorrectly, which can cause bigger problems. I would not attempt to do it without your vet demonstrating for you. I would have your vet take a look.

| My Bogey was having anal gland issues. What exactly is going on with your little one? Are they not expressing after he poops? They might be full and need expressing manually. I was expressing Bogey's manually after learning from the vet. His glands were infected a few times and with a change of food and more fiber he is doing much better.
