 Rocky's scooting what does this mean?  :confused::confused:What does it mean when your dog scoots his behind on the rug?  He did this last night first time I saw this, rubbing his behind on rug?? What should I do?:confused:   |  
 
 Did you check him for dingleberries?  If none, he may need his anal glands expressed.   |  
 
 for mine, it usually means he needs his glands expressed.  As a matter of fact just happened last week.   |  
 
 A vet or your groomer needs to express his anal glands. It doesn't cost much, usually around $10 at the vet. At the groomer, it should be included with the grooming.   |  
 
 how often do you need to have this done?   |

 Scooting Yorkie  Make sure your Yorkie has a lot of dry dog food in his diet.  Bowel movements from dry dog food pass with a better consistency than the ones from a diet of moist or canned food.  My Yorkie did that once, after eating table food for a couple of days. I put him back on his diet of Blue Buffalo (for small dogs), and the problem cleared up in a day or two.  |

 make sure your groomer does it from the inside of the rectum, and not the outside....  |
