Cost of expression of anal glands

Don’t know about cats, but the cost to have our dog’s anal glands surgically removed was $150. The dog had a real problem, and yes I knew how to express them.

Best money I ever spent.

How come we humans never express OUR anal glands?

:3

We don’t have any. Thank Og.

was that a whoosh?

:slight_smile:

For a few sawbucks, you could have it expressed from your brain.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of $10-15 (I don’t do the invoicing, so I don’t keep up with the pricing) for a straightforward anal gland expression. There’s usually an extra charge if we have to shave around the ass or do wound cleaning or antibiotic infusion on an abscess.

“There’s usually an extra charge if we have to shave around the ass or…”

LOL

I saw that you don’t do the invoicing, but is that the official terms your vet clinic uses for that type of extra charge?

I have cats and dogs all my life, and I’m only hearing of this now? My poor animals, and their unexpressed anal glans.

Wow, my dogs get groomed at my vets, and they do this no charge.

Holy fuck. :eek:
