Aly... I think the 'funny' pic of Reece is one of his Best.The look in His eyes is priceless!!
My Indy Vet routinely removes the anal glands when they have their pet spay/neuter
procedure done. He says they are organs no longer really used by the animals.( Kind of like the appendix in humans),but these glands can becomeome blocked and can harbor infection. Maybe you will finally see an end
to other problems if the Vet does this procedure for Reece.
Good LUCK TO YOU BOTH.
