Aly, how often do you have to have Reece's anal glands done? My mom's poor dog has to have it done at least once a month. They showed mom how to do it but she can't. Mom can had Lady to the vet, have her glands done and come home. The very next day Lady will start scooting again. I feel so bad for her. Her butt is always raw. I'm surprised it hasn't bled yet. They are thinking of doing the anal gland surgery. Lady is in such misery all the time.
