Hi all

Just wanted to ask a quick question. Reggie seems to be having real problems with his rear end. He has been to the loo about twenty times today and after each time he is dragging himself across the gravel!....ouch But he keeps on and on at his back end licking nibbling it. It really seems to be aggravating him. Just wondered if there is anything i can do for him (appart from take him to vet tomorrow!)
Oh also he has not had a wee since one thirty which is really bothering me. I have checked his mouth is moist and his skin goes back after lifting so does not seem dehydrated. He is drinking fine. Keep thinking ahould I ring the vet tonight
Any thoughts welcomed

Sounds like anal gland.  they might need to be emptied.

If he's had about 20 poos then I'll bet his poor little bottom is sore :(  this could well be the cause of the gravel scooting ;)  you could try wiping it for him with a baby wet wipe.

It's possible he's eaten something that disagrees with his tum, a little Bio Yoghurt  on his food will help put things right (unless he can't tolerate milk, in which case forge the yoghurt ;) )
