Why is my dog’s butt itchy? The master needs to pay attention

In the process of raising dogs, we sometimes find that dogs often spin around and rub their butts, and always bite back with their mouths. Most of the time it is itchy dog ​​buttocks. Some owners will say that they often bathe their dogs, so why are they still itchy? Let’s talk about why dogs’ buttocks are itchy?

1. Parasitic infection

Generally, dogs need to be dewormed internally every three months, and externally dewormed every month. If the owner does not deworm the dog for a long time, and the dog is infected with parasites, the dog will feel itchy buttocks, and will keep rubbing its buttocks on the ground to relieve its own pain. Therefore, owners should pay attention to observation. If it is internal parasites, they will usually be seen in the dog's vomit and feces. At this time, they should consult a pet doctor quickly and choose appropriate anthelmintic drugs to deworm the dog.

2. Anal gland inflammation

The dog’s anal glands need to be cleaned regularly. If they are not cleaned, bacteria will easily accumulate and eventually cause inflammation. Because of the itching, the dog will rub its butt on the ground or lick its butt with its legs raised. At the same time, the area around the liver port will be swollen and the area will be red. If the dog's anal glands are inflamed, first stop the dog from licking and rubbing, then squeeze out all the secretions accumulated in the anal glands, squeeze them as clean as possible, and then clean the area around the anus before applying medicine. If it is serious and purulent infection occurs, you need to go to the pet hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

3. Excrement residue

If the hair around the dog’s butt is too long or the feces is too thin, it will cause feces to appear on the dog’s butt, making the dog feel itchy. In this regard, the owner can cut the hair on the dog's butt shorter and clean the butt with water. At the same time, the owner should also pay attention to the dog's diarrhea. If the frequency is high, he should consult a pet doctor in time for medication.
