Yes, it can work out very well. We had one have this surgery 17 to
18 years ago for an infected anal gland and she did very well,
also -- no reoccurences at all eventhough she lives to a ripe old
age, though we were wqrned that they might happen. Sounds
like our personal expereinces were quite similar.
