any ideas

[showjumpinglover]

on why my dog keeps nibling his back end? (he is short haired so it isnot likely to be knotted fur)

ideas of what it could be please

Anal gland problem? Have never had it with any of my greyhounds/lurchers but it might be?

Or if it is just nibbling hair, my greyhound went through a stupendous moult when I got her so it could just be that?

Sorry, not much help here!

ok don't worry about it, it could just be a bit of loose hair.

what would you recommend to try and stop him from nibiling?

Could be his glands need done or is he due worming?

TBH I just used to groom and bath mine to get rid of the loose hair, it made her more comfortable and gave the birds loads of nice lining for their nests

 

[showjumpinglover]

not sure about the worming.
thats a good idea, will try grooming and bathing him to see if that helps

Check his poo next time he goes to check for worms as scratching their bum (or trying to chew it) can be a sign of worms
