Why Does My Dog Keep Licking Her Butt?

My chihuahua pup seems to spend an awful lot of time licking her butthole, and I don’t know why. Does she have a problem with her anus, or does she simply like the smell/taste? According to the symptoms I have looked up, she does not have worms.

She’s been scooting. I know that can be anal sacs needing drained. The vet did that a couple weeks ago, and said really they didn’t even need it.
The dog was still scooting when she got home. I also had a worm test done, and it came back negative. Sometimes she eats grass too, which I know can be a sign of stomach issues. She vomits once and a while too. I’m going to have another vet look at her, just wondered if anyone had any natural remedies or if it sounded like anything in particular. It cost me around $400 last time I had this checked (2 weeks ago) and it will be another month before I can afford that again. I’ve tried cleaning the area with vinegar which helps some.

My Dog Just Vomited His Entire Breakfast And Ate It Up?

Does anyone know why he would throw it up? Is it just from eating too fast, or should I de-worm him? (It’s cold winter right now here in Canada so I never expect him to get worms)
ps There are no other symptoms.

i have two dogs and im pretty sure they both have it since they are always together… they have had all of the symptoms (diarhea, dull coat, little appetite, coughing) I really freak out when my dogs are sick so I want them dewormed immediately. Is it expensive? I know i need to supply stool samples but how much does all of this cost??
btw they have had symptoms for about a wk.
