I have a 4 year old Golden Retriever who eyes keep weeping and just lately she has been scooting around on her but. Is this an indication that she has round worms?

Hi,

Yes there is a good chance for a infection of a parasite such as round worms, though the scooting on her but may also be a infection with her anal glands.

It is a good idea to have her looked a so you don't treat for round worm if in fact it is anal gland problems. (This is VERY common in dogs).
