I have a yorkie and i try to keep her shaved but it is very hard to shave around her butt and sometimes the poop gets stuck on or butt how can i stop that LOL... thanks for any help

Suffering from the same thing with Zoey. I ended up scissoring the hair by the other sides of her hiney. So the regular spots are shaved down but I also trimmed the hair down by the sides of her cheeks...I was starting to call her Miss Dingle Berry. Jeeeze it was getting a bit much. She is so small and lazy that I think she sits too low down and that is what causes the problem when she goes poop.

I cut the hair with rounded scissors...then every day when I brush them, I comb back there to make sure there is nothing hanging on!

I also wipe them after they go potty! This was nice and clean fur butts!!!

You do have to keep it shaved - not too close, though. Then you just keep some wipes available and check for dingleberries!

I just keep a small package of baby wipes handy and just clean up as soon after he's pottied as I can. (It's hard to get off once it dries.)

Trimming and using baby wipes is the best way to go!

I too have the same problems with poo hanging from the butt, I always try to wipe him when he comes in, and too I try to keep his butt hair nice and trim but he really don't like that much!!!!!! I am sure he hates me messing with his butt all the time...

and I also wash her little butty once a way with warm water.... Sometimes it gets messy

RMKC · 02-13-2008, 07:52 AM

My 2 get that too, even though they get butt cuts

When Rosi gets something caught on her butt, she comes running to me and turns around and looks at me like she wants to say : Mom please wipe my butt, its soo funny

Mizzrosa · 02-13-2008, 08:12 AM

i keep the hair short there and i use doggy wipes also

maxs_momma · 02-13-2008, 09:53 AM

I hope no one thinks i am weird for asking for a pic of your babies hinny

but does anyone have a pic of how short and how much hair is supposed to be trimmed around the backside area i need to do Sam's but i don't want to mess up and cut to much off

MIZBROWN · 02-13-2008, 10:11 AM

I've always tried to keep that area shaved... Meka recently went to the groomer for the first time, and she did a little better than I was doing. I also, make sure to check/wipe her butt after she goes potty... I cant handle finding "gifts" and its because of this that she's not allowed on our bed... Until it gets better anyway

I would be careful with the shaving. The groomer shaved my son's dog too close and it caused a nasty infection. I prefer trimming close with scissors every couple of weeks. I think it looks better too.
