This may be Rosie's anal glands that are dripping out after her defecating. I would bring her to a vet to have them expressed to make sure they are not full. Anal glands are scent glands at their rectum. When they have a bowel movement they typically express them. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
