Lately Zeus has been biting at his butt but no rubbing on the carpet. I took him for a walk today and noticed his anal area was wet looking but he hadn't pooped yet. Any help would be appreciated

I would try feeding him some canned pumpkin with his next meal. This will sometimes help dogs naturally express their anal glands. By tomorrow, if his condition is not improved I would have a veterinarian clean them out. They can become impacted and infected.
