Question

My dog as she is pushing out poop it looks like a red ring. once finished her anus is normal

This is pretty normal. I wouldn't worry unless you notice excessive licking of the area or scooting which could mean anal glands are clogged. That would require expressing from a professional groomer or veterinarian.
