Just a question but is it an ag infection, take a swab with a cotton bud, pop on a slide and have a look. You can always send to the lab for confirmation....no amount of diet change will cure that. If not pro fibre is great andI used to work with a vet who said half a weetabix for any size animal!

We use pro fibre and also advise hills W/D which is a weight control diet but also high in fibre to help with AG problems

i have also used Pro fibre and although it didn;t stop it completly it did dramatically reduce the frequency of needing the glands expressed

I have a client who use s Pro Fibre (produced by the people who do protexin) it is designed for dogs with anal gland problem. For this dog in particular it means the glands don't need emptying as often.
