Willow spent the day in the vets last Thursday for the blood sugar U Curve which tuned out to be ok but there is a problem with her liver and worse still three lumps on her anal glands. One of them is quite large and I am very worried especially as I have read that the large one the vet referred to as a mass are often malignant and aggressive. The vet said that her age, ten years old, and with her diabetes it would be very dangerous to put her through an operation and I should consider just carrying on
and seeing how long she can go without too much pain. I am just broken and don't know what to do. The cost of an operation would be about £4500 and I will find the money somehow if that would be the right thing to do but I am not sure if it is. I can't expect anyone on here would want to advise me on this one but I just had to tell someone. Thank you, Bob

Thanks, I'm leaning towards getting it done as it just never quite goes away, and must be sore.

It’s a relatively easy operation with good results.

My rainbow girl Olive had her glands removed after years of problems. The vey who carried out the surgery said that
Her glands were very long and that they would never have been completely emptied hence the repeated infections.

We were told that spaniels have a tendency for the  "tubes" to be misaligned  causing the "gunk" unable to find correct exit.  This is the problem we had with our Gemma. Eventually causing them to burst. She had hers removed in the end

My boy does get anal gland problems occasionally but sometimes he scoots because his bottoms got furry and it must get a bit itchy. Usually if I trim around it gets better.

Dylan has had this for a while, I have been keeping on top of it with diluted Hibiscrub and steroid cream, but it never goes away. Vet has suggested surgery, and wondering if anyone has had it done, and was the result good?
