Of course Norma, the first thing a reputable vet does is to express the anal
gland. Even if there does not seem to be a serious problem there, they
usually give a 2 week antibiotic regiment if the anal gland is really full
and smells worse than usual. I did this with my Brenda Lee bitch and it
worked for a # of years. Then the drainage started again and when I cleaned
her up I saw the hole--the fistula had started. We kept her alive for a
number of years with constant cleaning and low dose antibiotics. We lost
her to DM at age 10. Sandi
