Mine did it when she was little if all the poop didn't come off/out. Is her poo soft?
Is her hair long? If a little is caught in the hair they know it and want it off. That is why I keep Maggie's butt cut short. When I get her groomed I like it almost shaved all the way, then if stuff starts sticking it is usually time for a haircut. One time she was outside and kept squatting and moving and squatting, AFTER she had pooped. I realized then that a little nugget was caught on a strand of hair and I think she was trying to poop it off. I had to help it fall off!
When she was little, and probably before she was even groomed (so long butt hair) we kept baby wipes around and wiped her tush so that if she scooted there was no stain.
Also, when she was young she had a bout of coccidia (i think that was it) and that might have caused it.
I have read that if the poop is properly firm the glands should be sort of naturally expressed when they go. If the poo is soft they are more likely to fill up. |
