Does it take a while for an analysis gland expression to help?

Had it done yesterday as part of a bath an he's still scooting and licking

Some dogs just do that anyway. Mine scoots every day and gets her glands done once a month when the vet cuts her nails. He says it can just be a behavior sometimes.

No. Have the vet do it.

When my dog has it done, she tends to still lick the area (she never scoots) for about a day.

Is this unusual for your dog? Hopefully it's not impacted (plugged). Did the groomer tell you how it went, if they did it for sure?

I only have a vet tech or vet express anal glands as needed. Groomers only do it from the outside. Vets and techs do it internally and know exactly where it might be impacted/complicated.

If it's done too often, they won't be able to do it themselves by scooting. It will just be irritated.
