Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | If she does it alot then I'd get her checked out by the vet - I'm no expert but it could be a few things - check her stools - it COULD be worms - but it also could mean she needs her anal sacks expressed - mine have never needed that but we had a cocker that did once....then again - she just might have an itchy bootie |

| my guess would be her anal glands.. we used to be at the vet every week to get them emptied.. but since home cooking we haven't had that problem. you might want to try to add a bit of fibre to her diet to harder up her stool. |

| What your Yorkie is doing is called "scooting" and means her anal sacs are probably full. Here is more information that you ever thought you'd want to know about anal sacs! http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_anal_sacs.html |
