text: My drama queen dog giving me panic attacks yet again She had been scooting for about a week but I did not think much of it since she has never had an issue with expressing and has only had her anal glands expressed once as part of a comprehensive exam and they did not even end up having to do it because the second they got remotely close to her butt she freaked out and did it herself all over the poor tech Charming I know All of a sudden she is crying whining constipated will not even let me hold her and her tummy is harder than usual I try to get a look at her backside the joys of dog parenthood and can feel that her glands are definitely full and possibly impacted I of course assume the worst and am imagining vet bills for ruptured glandssomething else causing the issuewho knows what I checked Alta Vistas hours still open til PM YAY and called to see how busy they were and was told they were pretty cramped but to come in as a walkin They were lovely yet again when we showed up and Lucy did not even need to see the vet she was in and out with one of the techs in a short amount of time and came back to the waiting room a new dog after having her VERY full glands expressed She has been her happy self since The damage was under and they were quick and nice as ever We love Alta Vista
