Scooting

Question
I have a 5 month old female English Bulldog. For some reason she keeps scooting her butt across the floor. I heard that she might need anal sacks popped but then heard shes not old enough for that yet. She is not spayed. I also heard it could be a sign of worms.Lately she has been doing it more often. Is this something I should be concerned about and take her to the vet? Thank you.

Answer
It could be a number of things. She needs to go to a vet. Take a stool sample with you. It could be a urinary tract infection, anal glands, worms and even fleas.

Disregard what you've heard when something comes up with your Bulldog. Take it to the vet when you see a problem.  Many times waiting can cause further injury or even death. These dogs are not low maintenance.
