Hi Kimberley,
How often does Bonnie need her anal glands emptying, is it quite frequent? I think it was about 4 months ago that Benji had his emptied although they wasn't as full as we thought at the time. I will let you know what the vet says (thats if I don't get the spanish one because I can't understand a lot of what he says
)

Hi Zoe,
Was meant to be posting about an hour ago but got waylaid on all the other threads
Well he agreed that it was probably his anal glands and emptied them and I asked about the cyclosporin tablets and he agreed that they would be better than steroids for him, so he has prescribed some atopicia (think it is another name for it) which he has to have one a day for ten days and then we have to go back to see how he is doing. He said that they might make him sick but if he keeps being sick he will have to come off them. We won't be able to get them until tomorrow because they have to order them
They are very expensive tablets though and are £28 for 10 but I have seen them on the internet for £13.81 but you have to have a vets prescription before they will sell them to you. He weighed Benji (well one of the nurses did) and he weighed 10.1 kilograms (which is definitely overweight for a Bichon
) but when I asked if he was overweight he said no he doesn't look it at all and must just be a big Bichon
