Rubbing - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Do any of your Yorkies rub constantly against walls and things like that? It sounds crazy but Diamond rubs her body constantly against the wall and this basket I have with her toys in it. Then, when she plays she will squirm all around on her back like scratching her back on the rug.

Should I be worried that she has ticks/fleas? I do give her the flea medicine monthly.

That's funny, cuz Mia was doing the wall rubbing thing a couple of weeks ago. I thought maybe she was loosing her balance or something

She hasn't done it lately though.

Cali does it all the time. At first I was worried it was a sign of liver shunt but the vet said no that haed pressing which is different was the LS symptom. I guess they just like the way it feels. None of my other dogs ever did it though

The only time that Toby rubs is when I bring him in the house after a walk and take his harness off. Then he will rub against the chair or carpet for a couple of seconds. Just feels good to have the harness off.

have you checked your dog's skin? She might have an itch caused by an allergy or something.

tucker did it because he had a liver shunt which sent toxins to his brain and made him feel weird. he has stopped now. but also does it when he itches
