My pet is scooting its hind end. Does it have worms?

Scooting is often the result of full anal glands, environmental allergies, or parasites. Most often the scooting is due to full “anal glands” which are scent glands that lie under the skin on either side of the anus. The veterinarian can express the glands to relieve the discomfort and treat with proper medication if infected and inflamed.
