How much do I love Daisy???

[my3dogs]

So much that I expressed her anal sacs.   
I noticed that distinctive smell and today they were leaking.
My friend owns a bassette hound and handles this issue herself all the time. She sent me websites with diagrams.   When I noticed that Daisy was getting worse today I reviewed the website and went for the external option.   
It wasn't pretty.  It didn't smell nice.  And it's not in my top 100 things to do on a sunday afternoon....b ut I did it 'cause I wanted her to feel better.
It also helps to have a 16 yr old daughter with a witty sense of humor who was cracking jokes the entire time while petting the pup.  Sure....she gets the non-stinky end!!
Ah well...Daisy feels better.   That's what really matters.

HAHAHAA!!  Congratulation s on being inducted into the court of Anal Gland Queen! LOL  I used to do anal glad expressing daily when I was a groomer, nothing worse than that smell!  It does make them feel tons better after it's done tho, and yes you are a wonderful loving mommy to help her feel better!

Whew!  I hope you were in a well ventilated room.  Did you squirt yourself?  I've never done them myself, but seen them done plenty at the vets and it can get very messy.

You should be very proud.  There are few people who would do that on their own.
