question about diarrhea

Hi,

first I will give a little background info. For the last year my dog has smelled BAD. To the point that no one wanted to pet her. I gave her baths, took her to the vet nothing helped. I specifically asked the vet last spring if it could be her anal glands...she said nope they are fine. Well I had had enough of the smell and brought her to a new vet...whom I love. She immediately checked her anal glands and Lo and behold they were FULL. It took her 2 shots to express them...and man did it stink. Anyway that was Tuesday, sonce then she has had watery poop..so diarrhea. I am not sure if this is normal. I have been giving her rice in hopes of hardening her poops and lots of water to keep her hydrated. She is acting completely normal..well except for a little silly with the excitment of peoplel cuddling her again

So is it normal for a dog to have diarrhea after thier anal glands are expressed? Is there anything else I should be doing to help harden her poops? I have called the vet and am waiting for a call back.

Thanks in advance
