No, I will learn if the vet thinks I need to but I am really nervous about hurting her because she cried when the vet tech did it. It breaks my heart to do it. Pixie is 7 lbs but she doesn't look like it. She looks kind of pudgy but she is solid. Evelyn

It still cost me almost $400.00 dollars, but knowing she is going to be okay is the best news. I guess I will need to learn to express her glands from now on so this doesn't happen.. Just going to be hard to do I think on both Smidgen and Chassis cause they are so small. Smidge in just about 3 1/2 lbs, and Chassis is 2 1/2 lbs. Have you had to do this to Pixie ?

She doesn't have Perianal Fistula. She had a infected anal gland. The vet lanced it and flushed it out and stiched her up. She isn't very happy about having to wear the E-collar. Thank you everyone for your prayers.. Beth & Smidgen
