bum shuffle?

why do my dogs drag themselves round on their bums is it because theyve got an itch
Answers:
Your pooches need to have their anal glands "expressed"..(nice way of saying 'emptied'). Dogs butts have little pouches of extra stink juice that get laid down when they take a poop (to spread "all the news" to other sniffing dogs), and if these get too full, or get infected, dogs will scoot on the rug. You can do this yourself (google "express anal gland") for instructions, though (trust me!) it's well worth paying %26 letting the vet do it!
When one shuffles one's bottom.
yeah either that or there wiping there bum on your carpet lol
They need to go to the vet and have their anal glands squeezed. The glands fill with, um, for lack of a better term, gunk, and then it itches them. Once they are squeezed, they'll feel a lot better.
Or they have worms. You should treat your dogs for worms at least once a year. If you walk them were other dogs go they can pick up the eggs.
Have you wormed them lately ?
i was told by a vet that dogs do that when they have worms.
could have worms,or some breeds need their glands squeezed,. I know poodles have this problem
They may have anal gland problems, I would take the dogs to a vet with a fresh fecal sample from each dog to be tested for worms. Anal gland problems left untreated can become quite serious.
This means that they have got worms . Get some wormer.
Anal glands. As a few before me have said, they need to be "emptied" by a vet. I've had 2 dogs (both bitches) with this problem. It does tend to recur too.

The vet squeezes the anal glands to empty them. It's not particularly pleasant at the time for the dog, but it's better than being driven mad by the itching! Also, if it's not sorted, they may resort to biting the area around the anus, and that's not pleasant either!
Its anal glands!
Dogs are very uncomfortable if these need emptying.

Get your dog to the vet and get it checked. Your vet will prob want to empty your dogs anal glands..it takes seconds, no surgery and dog does not suffer unduly ( just feels a bit embarressed for a bit!)

Get the poor thing comfortable and have fun LOL!
They are trying to express their anal sacs. If you take him to a groomer or a vet to get them emptied, he will be much more comfortable
they have impacted anal glands. Get the vet to empty them, then change their diet to include more roughage.
Worms or anal glands, both equally revolting.
it could be there glands,or ti could be worms, take him to your vet for a checkup,either way he is gonna need help
See your vet and get some worming tablets,
they may need worming, bye
either they need their gl;ands evacuating or they need worming
This can be an itch but more lightly the anal glands need emptying. This has to be done by a vet, if the problem occurs too often the glands may have to be removed. Our poodle had this problem and had hers removed, good luck.
they've got worms and need to see a vet to be weighed to get the correct dosage of worming tablets.
