What causes an 11-week-old puppy to drag its butt constantly?

The most common cause for scooting is allergies, which could be to fleas, foods, or the environment. Other causes include anal gland irritation (often secondary to the allergies) and intestinal parasites. I would recommend having Mindy examined by a vet, but not necessarily as an emergency.

Sometimes dogs can do this due to minimal impaction of the anal sacs and resolves on its own. I recommend that you continue to monitor Max for now. If this continues in the next day or two, have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good night!

Some intestinal parasites are microscopic so she may have hookworms, roundworms or coccidia causing the soft stool and the itchy rear end. You can clean her butt with a warm wet cloth which may soothe the area. Please bring a fecal sample with you when you get her vaccinations and they can check for intestinal parasites and get her the correct dewormer. Pedigree puppy food is fine.

Garlic may have an impacted anal sac which your veterinarian can easily diagnose and remedy by evacuation. I suggest you add some canned pumpkin to her food which will help with poop consistency. Schedule an appointment with your veterinarian for an exam.

Dogs can have worms without there being any worms in the poop. Typically it is eggs that are shed, and those are microscopic. To truly rule out worms, a vet needs to look at a sample of Daisy's poop under a microscope. It could also be she has a problem with her anal sacs causing this behavior. I do think it's worth having this checked out by a vet. I hope this helps!

This behavior can be indication of impacted anal sacs or intestinal worms. Dogs rube their butt on the floor when it is itchy. I would have Rosco seen by a vet first thing in the morning, and be sure to bring along a sample of his feces so the vet can check for worms. The vet can diagnose what is causing him to have an itchy behind, and can treat him for it. Should he have worms, the vet can give him a deworming treatment. If he has impacted anal sacs, the vet can express them.

Most often this behaviour is due to anal glands impaction or intestinal worms. Please, de-worm Rocky if he has not been de-wormed in the last 3 months. If it doesn't help, you will need to see your regular vet to get his anal glands checked.
