Gracie is absolutely right, as usual. This sounds like you've diagnosed your baby yourself, and that's probably not such a good thing. Anal glands serve a marking purpose in all animals, including dogs. Unfortunately, they can become impacted and infected. Most groomers and vets offer the service of expressing these gland which only needs to be done once in a while in most animals. Actually, they are a lot like hemmorhoids in the way that they cause irritation and itching. You need to be shown how to do it, though, and then your "Booger" will be fine.
