Scooting can be caused by a number of reasons:
• Fleas
• Worms
• Anal Gland Problem
If your pet regularly gets its parasite preventives, it may need to be examined by the veterinarian.
Anal glands are the scent glands that are located on the inside of the anus. Anal glands, particularly in smaller breeds, can become blocked. If these glands are not expressed regularly, they can cause extreme discomfort and also become infected.
