    Question Why is Remington suddenly scooting all the time??? I looked at his bum and it looks fine...

    He scoots all the time the last month 1/2 not all day but I catch him dragging his bum across the carpet :/ it's obviously itchy, my moms little shih zu does this also, so did my neighbors Golden, Thanks in advance

    Anal glands probably need to be expressed.

    ^^Anal glands!!
    I noticed Cooper having difficulty sitting on the weekend, not wanting to sit, whining when he attempted to sit....off to the Vet and it was his anal glands...or I should say one gland that was impacted. He wasn't scooting his bum on the floor (too sore I think), but when he does scoot his glands are full.

    Probably anal glands BUT....have you started giving him anything different? Food ingredients? Snacks? Did the nutrition label for your food change recently? He could be getting irritated from the new ingredient.
