HI
I am coming to the conclusion that Cavaliers must enjoy scooting just for the sheer fun of it and possibly also to have a scratch along the way ,just like Tania's new superb cartoons.
I took Rosie on the Saturday before we went on hols to the vets to have her glands checked and expressed if needed ,and the amount that came out was minimal and of course a few days later there she was scooting again .
As they are all on Natural Instinct raw with added veg for bulk I have also included two more products to assist them all with firmer poops these are .

and
http://www.poochandmutt.com/mobilebones/?gclid=CImX2diL_6ICFepc4wodH2Mdeg
both products here both the Bionic Biotic and the Mobile Bones.
And have also purchased last week and have been trying .

This is used with cotton wool swabs as a hot compress over the gland opening ,and even though I have watched my vets express them many times and viewed lots of diagrams as to where they are I am not sure I am placing the cotton wool swab over the glands. So does anybody know of a simple and easy way for me to find them as so far I don't know if I have and I don't think Rosie is very amused when I grab hold of her then lift her tail up with one hand and then start rooting around her bum with my other hand encased in a rubber glove .:yikes I would like to have the knowledge and confidence to express her glands if needed but initially I would be more than happy to know that I am putting this compress in the right place .
