I noticed Molly licking her behind a lot last night, so when I finally nabbed her & took a look I saw a hole in her bum! Had to drop one of the dogs off @ the vet before work this AM, so dropped her off to.
Apparently she has a ruptured anal gland. This is a new one for me, I've never had to deal w/ anal gland issues before. I've been searching the forums & found some good/resourceful threads, like this one. Seems like my vet took a common course - she's on antibiotics & gets panalog/anamax ointment in the "hole" also. She had her butt cleaned/shaved today @ the vet too. Poor nekkid bum Molly!
I'm glad I took her in today, as the vet is now closed until Monday. I'm hoping this won't become a lifelong issue, as she is a PITA to catch to get medicated. She likes to play 'catch me if you can' & she can outrun me!
