Scooting..groomer? My puppy has been scooting every now and then. Should I bring him to the groomer to have his anal gland expressed? |
I would. But, if it were me, I would prefer a vet do it, because untrained people can cause injury to the delicate anal glands when expressing them incorrectly or with too much pressure. Good luck! |
Back from groomer I just came back from the groomer. She supposedly have 25 years of experience. She said my boy don't have anal gland problem but is still scooting so I have no idea why. His fecal test came back negative for worms so I guess maybe its just a habit thing.My baby whined a lot and I feel the groomer isn't being very gentle with him. The lady did not really try to make my baby comfortable so I am not sure if my baby will be willing to go to the groomer again. I am quite disturbed by it. I will learn myself how to groom my baby.Can anyone tell me what I need in order to do my baby's own grooming and where do you usually get them besides the pet store? |
New Yorkie owner Hello ladies I am 3 wk yorkie owner and i wanted to knwo what scooting means?? Thanks.:confused: |
scooting is when they drag their butt on the floor. |
A small clippers, a small hair cutting scissors. They usual shampoos and brushes and such, but you probably have them anyway. I made my own groomingd arm, It really helps when you need a third hand. when you need a 4th hand you have to enlist hubby's help. You can buy the clippers and scissors at Walmart. Maybe a book or a video if you don't wnat to just use trial and error. |
Ohh... I thought that they were just cleaning themselves...I think its so cute when Gizmo does that he looks even more adorable if thats even possible...Is that a problem?? what can that do to him?? |

If they do it excessively it could be a sign of worms, or anal gland problems. Usually they manage to take care of the anal glands themselves, and I think the scooting might even help. If they are not doing it all the time they could be just cleaning themselves or they might just have an itch. LOL |
how much is too much Sorry about all the questions...he does it once maybeee twice a day is that a lot?? The vet gave him worm medicine and i dont see any in his stool (is that what u call it) i say poo sorry!! But he does it mostly after he goes to the bathroom...but not every single time he goes.. |

Have you trimmed the hair on his butt so no poop sticks to it? IMO daily is too often, but you could ask your vet. |
This might be weird No i havent but i think that the groomer did cuz he doesnt really have hair directly under there when he goes to the bathroom i wipe his little butt w/ baby wipes so he doesnt feel dirty and so hes clean :D |
