I know it's been discussed on here many times before - I guess I'm looking for a bit of reassurance...
After more than 12 months of continued bouts of infection/full glands [which surely they will be from time to time?] and one session of flush/packing.
Change of groomer as I thought they may be heavy handed and the new one doesn't touch anal glands [won't empty them due to the risk of damage
]
complete change of diet to BARF for 3 months, which only made her really constipated and exacerbated the problem
added fibre to her diet which made her really loose and therefore worse
on gluten free for the best part of 6 months which has been great until the last 2 months
Change of Vet from the nearest branch of the Group to a Partner at the Vet day hospital
3 infections in 2 months the Vet has said they need to be removed.
She's booked in for Monday next week. Got to admit that although he's reassured me I'm still worried about the possible side effects and how she will be after the operation.
Anyone any experience of the procedure on their dog and able to share how they are first night / day after? I can ask my Mum to come over and look after her while I'm at work if needed but the Vet says she should be ok......
Sorry to ramble - just a bit upset that it's come to an operation
