Might it be an impacted anal gland? Anyway, let us know when you get back from the vet. Poor Mandy!

Poor Mandy! I'll be thinking of her. It looks like possibly an anal gland problem. Keep us updated!

Poor baby, I hope its nothing too serious and they can make her more comfortable.

I just got back. It is an abscessed anal gland. They kept her to sedate her and flush it out, then said that she will be put on antibiotics. They wanted to keep her but I told them I wanted to take her home and they said that would be okay too ... not sure if it's just because I used to work there and they know me well or what. But anyway - she'll be fine. I was really just worried about it being a rectal prolapse so I'm glad to hear it's not serious. Poor girl though, it's bothering her quite a bit.

Poor Mandy, my boss said that can happen if the glands aren't expressed regularly.

Hope she gets better fast.

OUCH! Poor baby! I hope it clears up soon!

I hope Mandy is better soon. I'm glad you could bring her home with you.

YEP that is what I was thinking, Champ had that earlier this summer and that is exactly what it was. It started like a little bite and then got huge and exploded before I could get her to the vet. It will heal really quickly, your wallet on the other hand after the procedure may take a while to heal

Thinking of Mandy...((hugs))
