    Dog Constantly Licking And Rubbing Butt On Floor. Vet Extracted Anal Glands, But Next Day Dog Started Licking And Rubbing Again. Can He Have Worms And What Kind?

    My 4 yr old Chiquaqua, Romeo, started constantly licking and scooting his butt on the floor. I took him to the Vet who extracted his anal glands. The next day Romeo started the same behavior, so I "squeezed" his butt like the Vet showed me and nothing came out like it did at the Vet's office. Can he have worms and if so what kind? And what meds can I purchase?

    Your dog might have worms. Note few symptoms to confirm their presence such as dry coat, loss of weight with the passage of time, increased appetite etc. Give it an oral d worm medicine to kill the worms in its intestine. If the situation remains the same even after de worm medicine then it is just a matter of cleanliness. Keep it and its surroundings clean to avoid any infection after anal gland extraction. Use Vaseline to reduce its itching. Clean its butt thoroughly to remove any waste.

      Could be worms, and there are several varieties of intestinal worms canines can get.

      Or it could be simply that his butt itches, and he is a bit uncouth. Teach him not to do it in front of company... At least that's what my wife told me.
