Accepted Answer

Anne:

What you are likely seeing is impacted anal glands. You can try to express them yourself (although quite messy) or you can have your vet or a groomer do it for you. You can read all about anal glands and how to express them at the website below. :) To help her to express these naturally, consider adding just a teaspoon of plain canned pumpkin to her meals 2-3 times per week :) Good luck with your girl :)
