For anal gland infections or glands that fill up on a regular basis that need to be expressed regularly, I recommend the below products. Both products can be found online and I find that Glandex works the best. I hope this helps Buddy! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be happy to help you further! 1. Glandex 2. NaturVet No Scoot

It sounds like you have done a good job trying to figure this out. If her anal glands have consistently been found not to be full, then that’s a sign that the supplement is doing its job. My only thoughts are making sure that the food trial is done with a hydrolyzed protein diet such as Ultamino because it will diagnose all types of food allergy that a novel protein food may miss. You may also have a trial of a drug like Cytopoint or Apoquel to see if that stops the itching. An antihistamine may also be useful. An omega 3 fatty acid supplement for dogs may help as well with inflammation. I hope this gives you a few more ideas and that one of them works. Best of luck!

Hello. Honestly, I recommend either Nordic Naturals or Bayer Free Form Snip Tips. Both of these are highly recommended by veterinary dermatologists, too. You will need to call other veterinarians to see who carries Cytopoint. It is an excellent product & most of my clients love the convenience of only needing a simple injection once ever 6-8 weeks to control their pet's allergies. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

You can try to change to a different food to see if a different protein source can help. You may need to talk about other allergy medicines such as Apoquel or Cytopoint which can help with allergies too. If there is thick material in the glands increasing fiber with green beans or canned pumpkin can help make it easier to express. Getting the glands removed is less traumatic than getting them expressed monthly as it requires one surgery and a stay as opposed to monthly visits. That glandex may take 4-6 weeks to see improvement.

A part from treating with effective and appropriate prescription medications, some supplement based on omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and vitamins could be beneficial. Coatex could be a good product.
