Dog dragging may be caused by constipation or intestinal problems, anal gland problems, parasitic infections, skin allergies, infection or inflammation around the anus, etc. Owners should carefully observe the dog's symptoms and behavior and take appropriate measures based on the specific situation. If symptoms persist or worsen, you should take your dog to the veterinarian for examination and treatment in time. At the same time, owners should pay attention to the dog's diet and living environment to keep it clean and healthy.
1. Constipation or intestinal problems:
Dogs may feel uncomfortable due to constipation or intestinal problems and will drag their buttocks to try to relieve the pain or discomfort.
2. Anal gland problem:
There are two small glands near the dog’s anus, called anal glands, and dogs secrete fluid. If these glands become clogged or infected, your dog may become uncomfortable and drag himself around to relieve the discomfort.
3. Parasitic infection:
Dogs may be infected with parasites, such as roundworms, hookworms, etc. These parasites or their secretions can irritate the dog's anus, causing itching and discomfort, causing the dog to frequently sit on the ground and writhe around or drag its butt around when walking.
4. Infection or inflammation around the anus:
The dog’s anus may become infected or inflamed, causing itching and pain. This can be caused by things like constipation, dry stools, improper diet, or excessive cleansing.
5. Skin allergies:
Dogs may be allergic to certain foods or substances in the environment, causing skin itching and discomfort. This may cause the dog to rub its butt or drag its butt around to relieve the itching.
Owners should pay attention to the dog's diet and living environment to keep it clean and healthy. If the dog drags its butt when walking, the owner should take the dog to the veterinarian promptly to determine the specific cause and provide treatment. The veterinarian will conduct a detailed examination and give appropriate treatment suggestions based on the situation.
