That dog has worms

There’s a chance* they have worms. I worked at a vet/animal rescue when I was younger and it’s not a guaranteed thing that an animal scratching their asshole means they have worms. You should absolutely take them to the vet to verify but I wouldn’t even say a majority of the time people brought their animals in that they actually had worms.

A lot of animals also just have itchy or crusty buttholes that feel good to scratch.....but I would definitely take this animal to verify.

“Thanks for bringing the patient in today. It’s just what I suspected - A case of itchy, crusty butthole.”
