Hi Lyla. (Late) Welcome to YT! I'd suggest a trip to the vet since there's really no way for anyone on the internet to diagnose him properly without being seen. If it is his anal glands it's important that it gets done the correct way so that no harm comes to your pup. They can become infected too which could possibly lead to rupture if not done. |
welcome to yt and i agree it may be anal glands that need to be extracted. i would really only have my vet do and if you want to learn how to do it i would suggest lessons diredctly from your vet. let us know how it turns out. |
Butt scooting is usually a sign that the anal glands are full. It can burst or abscess if left for too long. Please take him to the vet if you haven't already, it only costs $20 or less to have it expelled. No vet exam needed! |

It could be anal glands, parasites and even fleas. Fleas like to congregate on the head as well as the tail area near the anus and around the base of the tail. Whenever Gizmo gets flea treatments the vet always suggests to put a drop or two of the liquid there as well as on the back of the neck. |
toby I had asked if anyone knew what would be the problem if my yorkie was licking his anal area and biting his tail a bit...I had given him a de worm treatment first wk of sept and I had him groomed and his anals done firs t wk of sept also..what it was I was giving him a bit to many doggie treats and it made his stool hard so he was licking to relieve this I went to groomer this am and she told me to put a tiny bit of Vaseline on his anal area..i did and I stopped the treats for a treat he gets a tiny piece of raw carrot which he loves and now he is fine..:):aimeeyork |

glad you figured out what was bothering him. |
