| Generally - cling ons or anal gland issues. If her bum is clean then it might be that she needs a trip to the vet to have her anal glands expressed. |

| Either her anal glands are full or that she's starting in heat, my aunts bitch did this when she was in heat.

| They will scoot their bums on the carpet if the hair has been recently cut around the anal area. Sometimes it just plain ol itches!!

| My Remy had this problem and it was his anal glands. Quick trip to get them expressed and he is fine.

| No one here expresses the anal glad theirselves for their doggers?? I guess cause I work at a vets office and I do this quite often at work. I don't mind it too much. A little weird, but meh. it helps them out. (glad your dog is doing better!!!!)

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I think the prevailing thought is don't do it unless it needs it. Apparently, you can do it so often that the dog can no longer express it on it own. Also, it should be done correctly, or you could be pushing the contents further up instead of out. I always recommend people ask their vet for a demonstration, and then visually check the area before baths. Signs of butt scooting and nibbling could suggest anal glands are too full, and need expressing.
