Had their dogs anal glands surgically removed? Tucker has had issues with his for a while now and I feel so bad for him. I hate bringing him to get them expressed as he's miserable about it. It's the reason he doesn't like going to the vet now. It looks so uncomfortable for him when they get full. Today he was whimpering about it. I'm going to look into surgery to have them removed. Has anyone ever had this surgery done? Btw, we have tried various things to help him release them himself like adding fibre to his food with no luck. I'm frustrated for him. Poor guy :(
