Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 20 lbs
About my dog being itchy around his anus: i forgot to mention but he has deworm treatment done every 3 months, so he’s up to date. He has been itching for at least 15 minutes now, but this has been happening since yesterday. he’s clearly very bothered by it. The vet is closed tomorrow i feel so bad, is there anything i can do to help?

Thank for you for the additional information. Based on that, it may be Alex's anal sacs causing problem. I would try giving him an oatmeal bath to see if that helps temporarily with the itching. Best of luck.

This could be due to intestinal worms or a problem with Alex's anal sacs. Give him a deworming treatment if he isn't up to date on them, and have a vet check his anal sacs to make sure they aren't impacted. Best of luck.
