could you please help me out with this question?
   I have terrier x dog and he is having problem with his anal sac. I have to take him and have them express.
   When I first took him to the vet. she said that he had to lost weight so he did. I have had them express 3-4 time in just 1 yr. She told me that if the diet didn't work that he could have a opertion that would cost me $4oo.oo and then he could still die. So please help me
                                         &nbs p;                 Thank you

Maudie--

Have your vet show you how to express these glands yourself. It is very easy to do, and you can do this without taking your dog in all the time. In the meantime, if you are considering surgery to treat this, you can check at www.carecredit.com. They provide financing for veterinary and medical bills and may be able to assist with your dog. Please let me know if I can assist further.
