please help me...





Hi Gabby
If your puppy is eating and drinking normally and seems happy and active otherwise, then chances are this isn't anything to panic about.

It could be that she's constipated and although this isn't an emergency, it definitely needs to be taken care of right away.

There are several things you can do at home to help a puppy who is constipated, but if they are not successful in getting her bowels moving then you will need to take her to your own veterinarian for more help.

You can find out how more about this here.. How To Help A Constipated Puppy.

However, if she is pooping regularly, then she isn't constipated and you need to get her to your vet to find out why her rectum is swollen like this.

I hope this information helps and that your puppy is doing much better soon. Good luck with her.
