[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 351649, member: 439"] If you dog is prone to anal gland issues, have the vet show you how to express them. It's not pleasant, and it is gross, but it's fairly easy to do and will hold down the vet costs. If that doesn't help, the vet can remove the glands for you. We had a dalmatian that was allergic to fleas. As soon as a flea got near him, he would break out is little red bumps - it looked like he had chicken pox. Most of the current flea protection medications like Front Line didn't help, because they still let the fleas get near the dog. Luckily the vet is a friend, and would allow the ex to bring home good, old fashion dip and we could treat with that (just kept the dog away from the kids for a day or two). Wyley, the boxer we just lost due to old age, had terribly sensitive skin. The best thing for him was to NOT bathe him, and let the natural oils stay in his hair. We'd just hose him off if he got dirty. He smelled "doggy", but even the best shampoos would dry his skin and start open sores on him. [/QUOTE]
