((Vowel Lady)). This may sound strange as well, but my vet is someone we joke about frequently because...when something goes wrong he almost always first goes to the a n a l sac source, LOL!

He discovered at some conference years ago that the a*n*a*l sacs can be a great source of problems. I can't tell you how many animals I've had that have had to have those sacs expressed.

Otto had to have surgery on one of his sacs as well because they couldn't express it. It was totally impacted.

You poor poor thing!!!! I hope it isn't her back as that would be wonderful news. I'm sorry you have been through so much.

Here's a bit about those sacs.

Impacted a n a l glands are a very, very common problem for dogs, especially the smaller breeds.
