My dog just came home from boarding and her anus is black. The skin is normally pink. Is this something I should make an appointment for?

I would monitor her for any diarrhea or straining to deviate or any itching or scratching or excessive licking in that area. If you rice that then I would have her anal sacs checked and possibly a thyroid test or checked for an infection around that area.
