Pug has sore near anus. Not sure what caused it. Cleaned & placed antibacterial cream. Should she go to the vet?

It looks like this may be a ruptured anal sac abscess. A warm compress to the area can help with comfort. I would definitely encourage you to have her evaluated by your veterinarian as these require antibiotics and sometimes manual removal of anal sac material to heal. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon! Thank you for using Pet Coach.
