Bless your heart!
I just had to say the irony of posting in the Anal Glad Problems section of the forum, using the name scooter, made me smile this morning!
Truly, I mean no offense. : )
If your little guy were mine, I’d probably switch him to a grain free food with some protein other than chicken. It looks as though the Simply Nourish you’re feeding has a maximum fiber of 5% and the Science Diet may have had around 3%. I was looking at Hill’sĀ® Science DietĀ® Adult Small Bites Dog Food for a general comparison.
Have you seen any improvement since switching to the Simply Nourish at all?
My Golden was recently having a bit of an anal gland issue and I added some of The Honest Kitchen’s Perfect Form to his food and that seemed to help quite a bit. You can also try some ground organic chia seed or even a bit of Metamucil to see if it helps. It could definitely be a food intolerance issue, and for that reason, I’d definitely switch the food to see if that makes a difference before any further manual expression (which is undesirable) is needed. Oh, and I’d stop the yogurt to see if that might help also.
