Dexter (almost 6 years old) who has a chronic scent sac plugging problem, had them expressed today.
We were able to wait 3 months in between his expression this time.
There was no sign of infection and the fluid was not thick---
but he did need the hard plugs removed.
Because I cannot do it myself...his vet's technician does it.
We have considered surgical removal but because of possible dangerous side effects, we decided to wait until there were no other options.
If your kitty has plugging problems, and you would like more info., there are several threads in this forum about this frustrating problem.
To locate the threads...do a scent sac/gland search in this forum.
I would love to know how you deal with your kitty's scent sac problems.
