Hello, sorry to hear about Kira. I think that could either be a bite wound from your other cat or an anal gland abscess. You should have this evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as youre able to as she may need antibiotics. You can apply a warm cloth in the vicinity of the wound to stimulate drainage of any pus. She may be painful to the touch, therefore practice caution when approaching the area. Hope this helps and best of luck.
