Scooting, constipated
November 30, 2019, 2:16 PM- Q: My puppy is not routinely going to the bathroom and is scooting his butt on the floor. I also think he maybe constipated. I took him into the vet Monday for an anal expression and I'm not sure they got it all out. I can bring him in this Monday as they are closed now, but is there anything I can do in the meantime?
- A: Be sure to check for a fecalith which is dried poop stuck in the hair around the anus, keep in mind it only takes a very small amount to pose a problem. Watch the doctorpup video on “ Cleaning Your Puppy’s Anal Glandsâ€. It might be best if I could speak with you if you have other questions.
