I agree with Bare. For some animals, yes, it can be required frequently and they do fill fast. I used to have a Chihuahua that needed twice-weekly expressions. We finally just had them removed because they caused him so many problems.
Using a food with more fiber, or adding 1 tsp of canned pumpkin twice daily, should help to express them naturally as the feces leaves the body. In addition, the fiber content won't hurt your girl at all. Most cats love pumpkin. My cats would eat only pumpkin if I'd permit this, lol.

Is there any way to tell if the glands need to be expressed?
