| She needs to be seen by her vet, it may be her anal glands or possibly worms. |

| There are lots of reasons dogs do this, the best vet is to see the vet- bring a stool sample when you go. It could be full anal glands, worms, or just an itch!

| I agree with everyone else. I have seen mine do the butt scoot from time to time when nothing was wrong but it is always better to check to make sure things are ok.

| Was she just groomed? Sometimes after grooming, Sammy will scoot a little bit because he was clipped too close to the skin and I guess it itches. If not, I would suggest that the vet take a look. Good Luck!! |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | First thing to check is whether or not she has any bits of dried poo caught in the hair back there.

| Sounds like you need to clean her anal glands. I just learned how to do this. Not fun but this will help. |

| I just found this video... (I personally would take my puppy to the vet. I'd be afraid of doing it wrong!)

| I didn't read all of the posts, so I didn't know the problem was solved before I posted the last two.

| Hey, Princes Mom. Thanks for the video. I've heard of this but I've never seen it done. Hope I never have to do it, but I know a lot more now than I did before I saw the video. |
