Mia's bum! Lol
Sorry very nasty subject but here we go....
Little madam started scooting 2weeks ago, so trip to the vet and anal glands expressed, after this I've added small amount of fibre to her diet but the scooting continued.
Back to the vets we go and vet nurse had another go at expressing the glands, told us one side was completely empty and the other had a very small amount in nothing that would have caused discomfort though.
However, she's still scooting??? It's more of an awkward sit now, where she'll scoot/sit then we tell her no and she'll stop, any ideas would be welcome, she's never had anal gland problems before?
I've googled and scared myself that she might need them removed, but then I can't help thinking maybe she's just doing it as an attention thing?

Yea she's up to date with worming so I'm sure it's not that, I do think she might just like the feel of it, but she'll do it outside on grass and on the tiled kitchen floor, as well as my carpet!!
Very strange but I don't like to dismiss it just incase it's sore for her?
