| Runny stool, now scratching butt on carpet, HELP! My booboo keeps pooping and leaving some behind on his rectum and fur, it is too soft for him to let go I guess. After pooping last night he kept dragging his butt on the carpet then stopped after a while and now today he is doing it again and licking and scratching his rectum. It looks so red and irritated and he seems so frustrated. I looked it up and it seems like it could be that his anal glands need to be expressed, should I take him to the vet in the morning or try doing it myself? Or could it be something else??? Please help us

| It does sound like it could be an anal gland problem. If you haven't done it before and know what you're doing, it would be best to take him to the vet. Good luck...your poor little guy must feel miserable.

| A teaspoon of canned pumpkin will help with the loose stools. Anal glands can become infected and/or impacted. Vet check would be best till youi know what to look for as it can be very painful... A diet high in fiber can help prevent AG problems.

| He might have worms too. Sometimes when they do they get itchy butt. I'd just see if it stops. Sometimes I wonder if it feels good to them! |
