Taming the Doggie Drag Hinny

Not only can it be a bit embarrassing when your dog drags it hinny across the carpet or lawn, it can also be a sign your dog is sick or with disease especially if accompanied with vomiting, pain, fever, lethargy, blood in stool, or diarrhea. More commonly, a dog dragging its hinny across the ground is a sign that your dog ate something he/she shouldn’t have and its body is working in overtime to flush it out.

This of course irritates your dog’s bootie and your dog finds relief by dragging it across the ground. It is similar to a person scratching their back on a corner of a wall to relieve an itch.

If your dog is dragging its bootie and has other symptoms other than just diarrhea, by all means seek a vets opinion to make sure it is nothing serious, as well if diarrhea last more than two days. If your dog is just p[resenting with diarrhea there are many canine friendly remedies that can help calm the runs. Other cause of a dog feeling the need to drag their hinny is worms so make sure that your dog is current on worming treatments.
