My dog's anal glands expressed green/white fluid. Should I see a vet?

Question

My dog got his glass expressed and they said it came out green and white. Should I be concerned and bring him to the vet? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 11 months and 2 days old | 7 lbs

Normal anal sac fluid is clear or pale yellowish-brown. When it's green and white, that can be a sign of anal sac inflammation or infection. I would have Koji seen by a vet. If he does have an infection, he will need antibiotics to treat it.
