I am suspicious that Quora may have an anal sac abscess. These situations usually need antibiotics to resolve. In the meantime I would encourage you to warm compress the area a few times a day to help drain the area and improve comfort. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
