Our new vet has said that she seems to be very narrow around that area ...
He also said that if whoever emptied her glands last time was too rough they may be scarred which makes it worse.
Do you think I should add a little bit of bran to her diet which will help her poo?
Is this problem of narrowness genetic and could it be serious?

Hi Pop and Lulu,
So sorry to hear of Lulu's problems
, particularly that rough person who emptied her glands last time
.
Tilly has intermittent problems with her glands and I was told too that it was because her glands are narrow. I was advised to add a spoonful of Bran to her food and I do this if her "doings
" look a little loose. It seems to help, but I don't add Bran as a matter of course, just when it seems necessary. Tilly's glands seem to have settled down as she has got older, which is a relief, so I hope that Lulu's will too. I too was worried by my vet mentioning operations and all sorts
but luckily it hasn't come to that yet.
That's my experience, so I hope that helps. I'm sorry, I have no knowledge of whether or not it is genetic, but as Tilly is a petite girlie anyway, it may be so.
Poor Lulu, hope she is not too concerned by the emptying (Tilly squeals like a stuck pig
:
: )
