Why does my dog sit on her butt,hold her head up high and growl while moving around on her butt?
She is has done this before and I end up treating her for worms thinking she had worms. but I'm not sure if its worms or flea bites? I checked her for fleas and she doesn't have any plus I just groomed and bathed her tonight. I have 4 dogs and she is the only one that does this! Also i use front-line plus on them once a month. and even with front-line i sometimes see fleas before the month is out. it doesn't seem to last a whole month anymore. I know if a dog scoots on their butt its anal glands but i wonder if it is her anal glands and she just does it differently then the other dogs which just scoot or look like they are wiping their butt on the carpet. Could it still be her glands or worms ? or fleas even and i don't see any fleas. I know fleas sure do hide good i found one flea on my other dog while bathing her tonight so i bathed her in flea shampoo just in case. i can't afford a vet right now and i was just thinking maybe those who have dogs have seen their dog do this before and could answer my questions. thanks alot.
as for the anal glands my other dogs shoots on the carpet when they need them taking care of but this dog doesn't scoot on the carpet like wiping her butt like they do she does this as i worte about above thats why i wonder if its worms or something else cause she doesn't scoot on her butt she just barks at it or growls.either way i went ahead and sprayed flea spray back there around the tail to see if she stops. if not i will treat for worms next or do the anal glands.

just as the others have told you, it could be her anal glands.
you could take her to the vet to have it taken care of or allow her to do this herself (i strongly reccomend the first option) my male mutt had a similar problem, one trip to the vet and he was alright. or it could very well be a type of round worm, have you checked her droppings? its a good idea to befor treating her with any kind of medication.
