Hello My kitty has just gotten rid off of her diarrhea, but her butthole seems to be popping out (I guess maybe swollen) what should I do to bring it back to normal. And yes she is dewormed

It sounds like she is suffering from a rectal prolapse. That is a medical emergency, and requires immediately medical attention. It needs to be returned to it's correct anatomical position, or the tissues could potentially become necrotic. Please take her into a vet now.

If the diarrhea has stopped it will resolve within a couple days without treatment, if the anus is sticking out and prolapsed, you will need to take her to the vet urgently, it will need to be repaired surgically.
