Ive been noticing that my 2yr old gsd occasionally goes at his anal area furiously licking at it. He never had a problem licking at his butt area until recently. Now I see him do it at least once every couple hours. He doesnt do it for long, but you can tell hes pretty passionate about it.
At first we thought there would be impacted anal glands, so we took him to get his anal sacs expressed. the groomer tried, but he had nothing to express. Also, there is no stench or odor emitting from that area.
Were kind of stumped as to what is making his anal area irritated. He has regular stools, regular activity level, and in good health all around. Anybody have any ideas as to what this is?
Thanks!
