| My Hobbes has done this before and I would wash him and cut his hair also. Usually because he ate too much. If it continues to happen I would take him too the vet. He may just be irritated where the poop dried on him.

| It sounds like an irritation; but I always err on the side of caution and take mine to see the vet... Or..at least call for advice. good luck!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Just saw you took him in. Glad to hear he is ok. You have to worry about a possible anal abscess when you see something like that going on.
