Your vet sounds very good and hopefully Solo will be back to his normal self again

It sounds like you've picked up the infection early too, good mommy work! Get well soon Solo.
It sounds like you got some answers Alisha and that you have a really good vet. Hopefully Solo will be back to himself soon and feeling good. Yuck to the anal glands. My first and only experience with them was when I took Simone to the vet once and they were getting her temp and she let lose of them - whew!! stinky!! You're a better woman than me if you can express them!!!
I wonder how stinky it would be considering Ive been changing diapers for most of my adult life. lol. thanks for the info....i had no idea.
