Dogs do not develop hemorrhoids as humans do. However, they can develop problems associated with their anal glands, benign or malignant masses, overgrowth of anal tissues, among others. Anal glands sometimes need to be emptied and can require antibiotics if they become infected. If possible, try to post a photo in another question so that we can try to address ZigZag's issue more accurately.
