Normally when you se a dog scooting their butt along the floor like that it is either the sign of full anal glands or worms.
If it is full anal glands, then they need expressed. Dogs can normally keep this done on their own, but occasionally one will need some help. Do not attempt to do this without instruction. It is one of those things that is very simple, but it is easier shown than it is told. Ask your vet to show you how. Then you can usualy take care of it on your own if it happens again. It is important to take her to the vet first time as the vet can assess if this is indeed, the problem.
The vet can check her stool for signs of parasites too -- so you can find out for sure which is her problem. I really recommend a vet check. You can check her stools for signs of worms but some are microscopic so better to get a stool sample examined by the vet. |
