Hi all, I've never had any dogs that needed to have their anal glands expressed - lucky me, right? None of my dogs have ever even scooted, so I've been...
I guess i'd have to say my dogs had limited vaccinations. I don't do them anymore except the rabies every 3 yrs and rattlesnake due to my area of living (i...

Hi Lily, I would have to agree with Gail. Find a new vet. I was a little surprised at my vet when I took Tasha in for her rabies 1 year booster. When she got...

I just say no. Calmly and nicely, but I just say no. I politely listen to what they have to say, and then I just say no. Over and over again, as many times...
Here's another weird anal gland story. As I mentioned, the vet I worked for only expressed glands if they were swollen. That was done externally and always...
