worms


Afternoon everyone.

Skye is pulling her bum across the rug after she has poo'd. The smell from the tray is really bad after and when she comes through to the livingroom, she is dragging her bum on the floor then the rug. Im thinking its poss worms so i got her a worming tablet from the vet today to see if i can get her to take it and see if it helps her. Is this a sign of worms?

Re: worms


It's the classic sign Pamela - can you see worms in her faeces?

Re: worms


Could well be her anal glands are bothering her if she has been loose of late but worming her wont do any harm.

Re: worms


I would say that is a classic sign of anal glands needing emptying!

Re: worms
