Try adding a handful of Branflakes to her meal once a day...that may help firm up things enough so that she does not need the glands squeezed.
All Rottweilers have black nails, and only a little should be taken off each trim.
I trim my dog's nails every week...take a small amount off...and no bleeding.
You should be able to trim her nails yourself...just remember less is fine as long as you do it often.

Quick question if you don't mind. My dog Zorro needs to have his anal glands expressed, probably a few times a year, it depends. He always has good firm stools and doesn't stink. Because of his food allergy issues, he eats bison/salmon (solid gold). So, bran flakes can help with this also in his circumstance or anything else you can suggest?
