Hi

Our 10 week old Golden has today strated dragging his bottom across the floor. I have seen other dogs do this but can anyone tell me why? Hope there is some 'normal' explanation but can someone set my mind at rest.

Sorry if this is a stupid question.
Thanx

Usually a sign of blocked anal glands or could be worms?  Could just be an itchy bum!!  What a delightful subject!!  Worth a trip to the vets to get checked out anyway.

Thanks Sarah ... off to the vets we go .... oh the joys :-)

Dontcha just luv em!!!?

I might be wrong but would have thought 10 weeks is too young for blocked anal glands

That's why I suggested a trip to the vets to get checked out.  I would also have thought that the breeder would have worming up to date.  Best to be safe and get a check up.

worming is up to date and he has had 2 massive Poos tonight so could just have been a build up... what a great topic hey :-). We are going to see the vet tomorrow anyway so will get him looked at then.
Thanks for the advice

Hope all goes OK at vets.  Let us know.

Lovely subject but mine does it sometimes when she hasn't made a clean evacuation!!  Usually because she has grass or hair in it.  She just loves the carpet to do it.  Usually get the toilet paper and give her a gentle hand!

:-) We have realised that he is doing it when he gets excited (along with doing a wee on the floor) so maybe thats all it is? will check with the vets tonight. Seems ok otherwise.
Thanks for all the advice

Oh what a charming boy you have!  Hope that's all it is.
