Anybody tell me what the problem is with my little dog - he keeps reaching round to his bottom constantly as if it is irritating him. I have washed and eased him with warm water.

Sounds very much like anal glands. Threadworms are very rare in dogs, and they are a different type to those that infect humans. If it is worms, it is more likely to be tapeworm and these are rarely irritating, but you may notice bits of white tapeworm that look like grains of rice stuck to the back end of the dog. Roundworms look more like spaghetti, and your dog should be wormed twice a year anyway.
