Technician Appointments - If your pet does not need to be seen by a veterinarian you can schedule vaccines, testing, nail trims and anal
sac expressions with a technician.
Not exact matches
Internal
expression requires a latex glove and inserting an index finger just inside the anal sphincter to aid in pushing out the contents of the
sac with thumb pushing on the outside of the
sac.
These
sacs can become impacted, and the likelihood of problems
with these structures increases
with unwarranted
expression of them.
For pets
with ongoing infections, we might suggest combining anal gland
expression with preventative treatment methods which can include implementing a weight management program, increasing fiber intake, and for more extreme cases, surgical removal of the anal
sacs and any present tumors; though most affected pets respond well to non-surgical treatment methods.
