Hi,
I have a 3year old Pugzu called Spud, we have to take him to the vets every 2 weeks to have his glands expressed (its not very nice). The vet said he has an issue with one of his glands as it sits lower than it usually should which causes it to not express natrually.
Both glands are healthy and have no signs of infection or complications. However, the vet suggested they could operate and remove them. I am very worried about having this procedure as I have heard it can cause many complications from a previous vet. I am not sure if it is worth having the operation or continuing with the fortnightly gland expressions with the vet. My only concern with delaying the operation would be that he would have to have it done at an older age which would make the risks a lot higher.
I am just looking for any advice before I make a decision as I would of course like to make the best decision for Spud.
Thanks for any advise its truly appreciated!
Best Regards
Steff
