My Frenchie, Bama had the same problem. At first the Vet thought his anal glands were full. When the problem persisted the Vet thought there could be an infection with his anal glands, so Bama was given antibiotics. When that didn't work, and he kept scooting, the Vet gave him probiotics in hopes that if it was a food allergy, the probiotics would work. When the probiotics didn't work, and Bama continued to scoot the Vet said it was probably an environmental allergy and nothing could be done. Fast forward a few months later, and my sister's dog had the same problem. Her vet recommended diaper rash cream and her dog was better within DAYS!! Of course, I went to the store and bought Boudreaux's Butt Paste thinking if it worked for her dog it should work for Bama. I figured that after 8 months of painfully watching him scoot his tush and after months of trying different things (all unsuccessful) what was one more. I applied it 3 times and the scooting stopped completely!! I can't believe my poor dog had to go through that for 8 months especially when there was such an easy fix. The first time I applied it, I put a descent amount and noticed the butt paste came off whenever he sat, rubbed up on anything and scooted. Regardless of the mini mess I saw same day improvements. A day or two later I applied plenty and took him out walking so he wouldn't sit, he was scooting less at this point (he almost had stopped completely). A week or two later I saw him scoot once and I reapplied. It has now been about a month and I have not seen him scoot since the last application. This is HUGE considering he would scoot several times within 10 minutes. I know that dogs can scoot for different reasons, but I just wanted to share what worked for us.
