Q: My Maltese had a blocked right anal gland sac for some time, which resulted in a hole near the anus that became infected. Several rounds of antibiotics didn’t help and he has now developed a perianal fistula. There are now three large holes in his anal area, and even his left anal gland is infected. Our vet has discouraged surgery and has put my dog on cyclosporin for a month. Will the condition be likely to improve and when can surgery be done to remove the root cause?
