The other day I went in the laundry room for something and Milo had just got out of the litter box. As soon as he got out he started scooting his butt on the ground. I thought it was VERY strange, as I had only ever heard of dogs doing that if they had worms or something.
I thought maybe he was flushing the worms from his system from a dewormer I gave him last week. I picked him up and looked at his butt and he had a piece of poo stuck to his fur. I shook him gently over the litter box until it fell off. I put him down and he still scooted a bit more, then got up and walked out.
I hadn't noticed him doing that before, nor have I seen him do it since (thought I admit I don't often catch them in the "act".)
Besides the poo being stuck to his bottom, could there be other reasons he would scoot on the floor??
Oh, he is 14 weeks old, if that matters. I get asked that a lot, so I thought I'd throw it in.
