    Scooting

    ...I do not have any of his history because he was left in a box on the shelter steps. A few days after I brought him home, I noticed him scooting. We went to the vet for his first check-up where they treated him for coccidia, emptied his anal glands, and did a preventative deworming treatment...

    Scooting

    I've read through several related posts, but thought I'd ask for some guidance anyway. I have a long haired 9ish month old female that scoots everywhere. It doesn't seem to be related to having a movement. There's never anything on the carpet, she just scoots constantly. She went to the Vet two...

    Scooting

    I just got my 9 week kitten a week ago and she started scooting after she poops. I thought it was because I used a wipe on her and she didn’t like the feeling. However this morning when she woke up she scooted (hadn’t gone poop) and I noticed her bum was red and swollen. I thought maybe worms...

    Cat Scooting

    ...mid-April. He is a neutered 3-year old male and is an absolute sweetheart. I noticed in the first few days of bringing him home that he was scooting on my carpet. He'd scoot a few hours after using the litter pan and he rarely had any 'leftovers' stuck to his bottom. He adamantly refused to...

    Is there ANY way to stop carpet scooting?

    I have another thread about Willy's pooping issues, and actually have made some progress on that. Wet/dry food ratio and pooping issues I found a better ratio of wet-to-dry that appears to have prevented constipation significantly. But he has been a carpet-scooter his entire life, and there...

    Scooting

    ...in 7 month old cat after giardia, URI, anal gland issues for more background My cat seems to also scoot more when her stools are solid… which is somewhat unintuitive to me. My cat “had” giardia (we had a negative test but I’m worried it’s wrong). She’s been scooting since I got her at 3.5...

    Anal Glands/Scooting. When to get care?

    ...Miralax per the vet. We give him 1/8 to 1/4 tsp every other day which has been working well to keep him regular. So now, we monitor him for scooting. Doesn’t happen all of the time. Sometimes it’ll be a 2 months sometimes like 6. (Although, this would be when we happen to see him doing it...

    Scooting bum across the floor??

    ...the other day I heard her howling so loudly and deeply I thought it was from an animal outside. I ran into the room she was in and she was scooting her bum across the floor. I took a look under her tail and her anus was red and irritated. This happened late at night, so I wasn’t able to take...

    Cat Scooting

    Hey guys, I need some advice. My youngest kitty (3 1/2 years old) has this habit of scooting his behind on some of the carpety surfaces in my home for quite a few months, possibly more than a year, now. When I took him to the vet last time for his vaccine renewal, I mentioned this to him and...

    So my cat has been scooting her butt the last several days. She just got over a bout of cystitis a few weeks ago and we started her on amytriptylline for anxiety. Along with that I was concerned about constipation.so the vet said I could give 1/8 tsp miralax daily. After the first dose her poop...

    Cat scooting across carpet (excessive licking) months after PU surgery

    My cat Mackie had PU surgery in June 2021 and since then he has been scooting across the carpet every time he pees and then licks the area. We went back to the surgeon and he still had a stitch in his PU site and it was removed but still the scooting/licking continues. I took him to my regular...

    Scooting: How do I know if he needs anal gland expression?

    My 11 y/o boy has struggled with constipation issues, which may or may not be related to the thread here: scooting. I have taken him to the vet about 6 times over the last 2 years to have his anal glands expressed. The second time I brought him in, they said it was really built-up bad, and if I...

    Cat scooting after having glands expressed?

    I adopted my 1 year 3 month old boy, Cole, about a month ago. He has been scooting pretty much since he got here, but never leaves anything behind, and he stopped for a week or so before starting again. The foster family and charity who bestowed upon us this angel in feline form didn't really...

    Scooting

    My 1 year old spayed female cat has scooted a few times, she is wormed and seems to be in good health. I tend to spoil her by giving her Webbox type treats, two or three a day, could this be the issue.

    Cat is still scooting from time to time

    This is after I voiced my initial concerns in this thread. It seemed to quieten down for a week or so but has started again. He doesn't seem to be in any discomfort, and he's been dewormed and de-flead, with no irregular bowel movements and energetic as usual. I'm just not sure what to do. I...

    Spraying and scooting

    My cat, Delilah, is approx 13 yo and was a stray until we adopted her. The vet believes she feels a surgical scar indicating she has been spayed. She is feline leukemia positive and has kidney disease. Here is my concern: every 2-3 months her behavior changes. My normally mild mannered kitty...

    Cat recently started scooting.

    For the past 2 days marla has been scooting on my carpet, I know this probably isn't normal behavior. She's been eating drinking and going to her litter box like normal. I would take her to the vet clinic sooner but i have to wait for my money to show up on my debit card at the near end of the...
