Any one any ideas on this?
Ollie had his glands done about 3 weeks ago and his wormer but he's still scooting along the floor at the minute - he's doing it a bit more than when he actually needs his glands doing.
Could his glands need doing again so soon? Also the wormer seemed a bit 'soft' so I'm not sure if this was slightly off??
Any ideas?

My Cav used to get inflammation *after* he had his glands done - squeezing them set up an irritation. It might be an idea to get him checked out again just in case.
Has he had to have them done before? I found that changing my Cav's food stopped him needing to have his glands done (at one stage he was having them done every 6-8 weeks)

Yes he has had them done previously. Not quite as often as 6-8 weeks! I would say any where between 4 - 6 months. Didn't think of inflammation will see how he goes if its not improved by friday will get him checked at the vets.
We have been changing his food recently so whether that has had a affect :huh:

It could be - what were you changing him from and to?

at the minute from CSJ champ to harringtons.
He's had Harringtons before and we switched to CSJ but i don't think the wheat agreed with him so we're going back to harringtons but the scooting did start before the switch so unless it was the CSJ?
Think thats why Ill give it till Friday before a trip to the vets

Ollie has bran in his breakfast!! After being recommend it on here!!
Touch wood the scooting seems to have stopped so maybe he was just have a pit of inflammation after the squeeze ph34r
