Dog dragging bum on ground?

(Yes, actually I meant that her anal glands were probably ‘impacted’ - it’s a problem my tenants’ dogs in Norway have had, but ‘d forgotten the English word. Thanks Phrannie!)

Possibly her anal glands are impacted…it takes a Vet to clear them out…If they were abscessed, I think she’d be more likely to be licking a lot, than dragging her butt…however, if they are impacted, an abscess can be the end result…

your dog needs her anal glands expressed, this is why they scoot. any vet hospital or groomer can do this, Not a big deal and not expensive

Your best bet is to just take her to the vet, that is the only way you can know for sure. Sorry I couldn’t be much more of a help…

no, your dog has worms most likely. yucky, but pretty common. take her to the vet and they will give her a non-expensive shot. I am 95% sure it is worms.

Yes, as ‘ruby’ said, it could be the anal glands. Cats can have the same behaviour.

It often means that they have an abscess ‘back there’, and dragging the bum on the ground is an attempt to drain the absess.

It’s not much fun, but you could inspect the area and see if you find a swelling. Cover it with gauze (and wear gloves) and press gently to drain it. Or go to the vet, of course.

This sounds to me like worms. Im not for sure.
