Question
My 7 yr. old yorkie does not self express her anal glands.  The vet told me I could do this myself.  I tried with no success, can you advise on how this is done effectively.  Her gland are full all the time, and it appears bothersome to her.  Thank you

Answer
Hi Marie :  You can go to the groomer for just a bath and anal glads, if you don't want to do this yourself.

Here is a link on how to express this yourself:
