| Scooting butt and stools??? Charley started scooting her butt today. I wonder if it's the food... My questions is, how is their stool suppose to be anyways. It sounds funny but some say they scoot because their stools are too hard? I don't get it.. Charley's stools are not black or anything.. they are brown... they look fine to me.. But the scooting thing and the whole anus thing has me worried about her poops. She has 2 poops a day. Am and Pm.. What do you think?? Michelle |

| I have heard they will scoot to relieve the anal glands. The only time I have seen mine scoot is when they got some poop on their butts. They run when they see me coming with a wet rag

| Sounds like anal glands need emptied. When mine need it (eh em, I mean my dogs) I let my vet do it. Ugh, it smells sooooooo bad.

| Oh Yeah! That really is quite the smell When mine start to scoot, it is time for the vet to checkout the glands and me to leave the room!

| If you are brave enough to do it yourself... I saw a You Tube video (when I was looking up grooming a Yorkie) that said how to do the anal glands. I was not brave enough to look at it though-LOL
