My dog keeps dragging his behind on the floor?

Question

my dog has lately been dragging his behind on the floor and i was wondering what it meant so if you know please help me thanx!

Answer 1

Possibly worms or he may need to have his anal glands released.  Either way, take him to the vet.  Neither one is a big deal now bit could turn into one if left unchecked.

Answer 2

either worms, or diahreah. check his poo poo.  

Answer 3

He may have worms, i would get him some de-wormer or something

Answer 4

He likely has impacted anal glands. Usually a vet or groomer can remedy this for you. They can teach you how to do it at home, but its not fun. Dogs who have had one impaction usually need them emptied often by hand their whole life.

Answer 5

Is your dog fluffy?  While a lot of other responses involve worms or anal glands, it might be that pieces of your dog's p**p could be stuck to his behind via furry butt.  My bf has a cat who is extremely fluffy and they have had to resort to trimming the hair back there to prevent her from dragging over everything.

Answer 6

tape a mop back there and let him loose on your kitchen floor.  

Answer 7

His anal glands need to be expressed.  You can have a groomer or your vet show you how to do ir, or you can have them do it instead.  It's not a very pleasant job.

I wish people wouldn't jump the gun and tell you that your dog has worms.  More often than not, it's  a problem with the anal glands.

Answer 8

He may have worms, irritating his rearend.

Answer 9

His hiney itches. Check for worms.

Answer 10

He probably has impacted anal glands.  You can evacuate them yourself but it is a messy stinky job so I would take him to the vet.

Answer 11

He has glands in his bottom that need to be massaged or squeezed. You need to take him to a vet or even a groomer and they will do this for you. That will alleviate his discomfort. Dogs do need this done at least every 6 months.  

Answer 12

You won't like my answer...

If this is happening often then theres a good chance your dog has worms.  You need to contact a vet, take in a fresh stool sample and have the vet give you a dewormer for what ever your dog has.

Good luck

Most times when dogs drag their bottoms on the floor, it means that either they are not clean around the anal region, or their anal glands are full and need to be emptied, either by a vet or a groomer.
