  • 🐾 Dr. Lera talks about the main reasons why dogs scoot with Callie.
    ℹ️ Anything that causes itching, pain, or a dirty bottom can cause scooting. For example, anal sac inflammation, food allergies, and a low-fiber diet are common causes of scooting. Below, the causes of scooting are listed according to whether they cause itching, pain, or a dirty bottom.
    When dogs scoot, they slide their bottoms (anus) across the floor or carpet. Scooting is not a healthy activity because it drives bacteria into your dog’s skin and into the anal sac ducts. Your dog’s entire bottom can become hot, swollen, and infected. Food allergies and anal sac inflammation are two common causes of scooting.
    Scooting is as unhealthy for the floor as it is for your pet because it deposits bacteria, a foul odor, and sometimes fecal material, on the floor.

    Hi my pug is scooting her butt a lot. You mention a cork screw tail, which my pug has. I’m curious why a cork screw tail would do this? Thanks

    I noticed you didn't mention worms

      That’s because it’s not usually worms that they scoot their butt! That’s a misnomer. Thanks.
