My dog has experienced irritation in and off for almost two years on her butt. She seems very bothered and is always licking/scooting. She has been to the vet three times but the treatments aren’t working. Are there other options to tell the vet, or ways I can help her? Because everything the vet has prescribed, hasn’t worked. Thank you!

She does seem to have a corkscrew tail and tail pocket. I was hopeful after the last appointment a few months ago that everything would be better being able to stay on top of everything. I got sick and wasn't able to clean her up for a few days maybe a bit over a week so when I realised I had forgotten to do that she's backI recently started making them homemade food chicken rice and a veggie. I started putting their fish oil in their food. I can see that the skin around her tail is a bit inflamed. How can I go about doing this and caimum discomfort? Do I clean the same as normal?

My dog keeps scooting his bum and constantly itching the area underneath his anus which appears to be swollen and looks a little bruised. What should I do, is this a serious matter. He is not in pain but it’s really itchy. He also has patches of what appears to be rash spots on his back, head and stomach that is scabby.

My dog has been experiencing a few odd symptoms: (1) lots of licking his butt and scooting on the ground, (2) wet poo, (3) biting at his paws, (4) a small spot above his eye is balding.

My dog Celine has had a couple medical issues in the past prior to us adopting her however, everything has been going well and treated thus far apart from her separation anxiety. When left alone she tends to lick her butt for a good 5-10 min at a time at random almost to calm herself then she goes about her day. However when we are home all day with her she never licks her butt. Sometimes when we are gonna she licks it to the point that makes it irritated and red. Our vets have her on Prozac currently but it just continues to happen when we leave. We have tried to have her anal glands expressed but there was nothing in them.

My Miniature Pinscher, Nico, was diagnosed with something similar to Colitis. His anal glands were checked by the Vet and nothing expressed. He was placed on medication for approx 8 weeks. It finally cleared up however, his stool and habits have changed. Since that time he has been obsessively licking his butt. He even becomes angry if you try to stop him. He seems very stressed over this and after each bowl movement he immediately licks. He does this constantly. He has even foregone eating to continue licking. He does have a strange smell now as well. I give him baths and that doesn't calm him either. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

My dog has been recently in the last week licking her anus and tail area, that area seems more red than normal. There is no sign of fleas or anything else wrong in the area, just the redness. She is on a good diet, normal exercise and monthly flea prevention medicine. She has never had issues in the past.

My mini dachshund, buster, has always had anal gland issues. He has to have them expressed at dr Boyce’s every 2-3 weeks. He has now started licking his behind constantly. Did not do this before, as I was looking him over I touched where his glands are so lightly and a light lime green/yellowish color liquid came out. His glands secretions are red/brown colors. I am worried he has an infection, it’s Sunday so no vet til morning. Suggestions ?? He is blind now, has been for 3-5 months. But this just started. Help.
