Itchy itchy bum?

Did your vet check her anal glands? Most dogs, when their anal sacks are impacted, will rub their back end on the ground so it appears the area itches. Just a thought!

Dogs have a 2 scent glands located around the anus at 4 and 8 o'clock. These are expressed during normal bowel movement. If a dog is having softer stool than normal these glands can become full and be very itchy. Worst case scenario they become impacted and infected!

I don't think there is anything you can do at home for this. A vet usually will express these if they are too full.

Or your dog could have worms, that can cause anal itch.

Good Luck!

Dog will spin and drag their butts if the anal glands need to be expressed. It a job best left to your vet! Have her checked for this and she will be tons more comfy.

Never use any OTC wormer on your dog. It is very dangerous and can make your dog very ill. If you even suspect worms bring a stool sample in and have your vet do a fecal float and see if she has worms and give you the right meds for it ok.

Have the vet express her anal glands. I have a 5 year old female bulldog that has to have them expressed about every 5-6 mos. or so. They cannot even scoot their but like most dogs because of the way that they are built.( tail set also) Our girl does a butt rubbing circular dance which makes the tip of her tail raw if we don't have her expressed regularly. Check for fleas also. Hope this helps.

Bulldogs are one of those breeds who have every skin problem known to dogs... mostly it is a maintence thing. A hot spot is where they either licked themselves wet, or were wet, and it never really dried... starts to get sticky. The dog then licks it and the hair comes off and pus develops...

Bulldogs need all their folds including the tail cleaned daily ... i really like Malaseb wipes.. they have a little antibacterial component in them which helps with over growth... then hot spots... the vicious cycle starts again.

Next, icthy butt - bulldogs.... could be anal glands as well...

Good luck.... not an easy breed to own due to medical and skin problems.... but they are sweet!

worms are a big problem. They can come from many places. If she has, or had fleas, she may have tried to scratch the using her teeth. Therefore, the fleas went into her system and hatched inside her. To check if she has worms, look through her poo. If there are little white things that move, its worms. There is probably some type of OTC. Check you pet store.

The first thing I thought too was anal glands. That breed is common for having that issue. I have also seen alot that have problems with there tails. When I bathe one at work I take q-tips or cotton balls and try to dry underneath the tail as good as I can get it.

No Idea as I am nor a vet but maybe you are feeding the wrong food and not giving enough liquid

Happy new Year to you too

worms my friend.

see ur vet. change its bedding, wash animal.

make sure u wash hands.

vet will give u tablets etc , but they will go away if the animal is kept clean and has a balanced diet.

you really should have had the animal injected to prevent worms.

to be honest do an internet search and see what kind of suggestions you can come up with. we have a german shephard that is itching herself and giving the dog benadryl can help but honestly check with the vet.. it could be a sign of something more.
