What does it mean when my dog poops twice in a row and her butthole looks red during the process?

It sounds like Panda's anus may be a little bit irritated from pooping so frequently. It could be that she ate a lot, causing her to poop more, or she could have some diarrhea. You can try feeding her a bland diet to see if that helps with the frequent pooping and irritation. Feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet.
