While scooting alone is not a sign of pain, more itchiness, if you see weird kicking after a poo, or rolling and itching along with scooting all at once after a poo, talk to your vet. Harley was doing all three at the same time, and my breeder told me the kicking was him marking, but the vet said he was in pain from the bowel irritation... Just something to watch for... or if someone else looks up this post and notices all three symptoms.

We call it "dancing" and Teddy does it to celebrate and to alert us that he has gone on the pad. Definitely not a sign of pain.
