My Dixie has anal gland problems too! I express them myself though about every 6 or 7 days. So far no need for surgery. My son thinks this is the most disgusting part of owning a dog. I keep telling him it's really not that bad once you have done other things for them!

Prayers are being offered for Lady to have a successful surgery and mom to have comfort in knowing her baby will be okay! It is hard when they go in for anything!
