I adopted a dog two weeks ago who was neutered shortly before I brought him home. He has been acting super weird the last two days like either his bum or the area where he had the procedure is bothering him. He keeps scooting on the floor and kind of nipping at his bum area. He’s having normal vowel movements and the procedure area doesn’t look irritated. Should I be worried? He seems so uncomfortable!

Thank you for contacting PetCoach with your question about Boris. It could be his bum area is itchy causing this behavior. This may be due to intestinal worms or his anal sacs may be impacted. I would have him seen by a vet for this in the morning. I hope this helps!
