Murrays anal glands don't leak, but both became badly abcessed when he was 2 years old. I didn't want the vet to remove them so I started having them expressed monthly by the vet, and started giving him a couple of tablespoons of canned pumpkin with each meal( folks on this forum recommended it to me), plus salmon, for the Omega 3 oil. This solved his problem.
I'll add that last month when I had Murray at the vets, he told me he had never heard of pumpkin and omega 3's to help with anal glands, but after seeing the results in Murray after 6 years he is now recommending it to other patients.
(There's a pumpkin shortage right now and canned pumpkin is almost impossible to find- I've been getting it at a health food store all summer where it's really expensive- a can that should cost .89 is 3$!!!! You might try frozen butternut squash, or sweet potaotes until the new pumpkin crop comes in)
