Only about 1% of the clients need it done every time they come in, and my coworker does it instead of me. I heard it can be very expensive for the vet to do it, so it must be done properly, I think!
I'm glad to hear that, IMO AG's shouldn't be expressed unless needed. If done improperly the dog could be in bigger trouble.
