My dog has a large, stiff bump under anus, trouble pooping. Vet?

Question

Hi, my dog has a bump under her anus and it’s becoming quite large. I have noticed she does have some trouble defecating and it is very stiff to the touch I was wondering if I could get an idea of what to do and if I should take her to the vet or if she just needs the glands worked on. Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Boston Terrier | Female | unspayed | 15 lbs

It's best to take her to the vet within the next 24 hours. This appears more like a perineal hernia, which can cause significant problems if left too long. Your vet will be able to diagnose this and recommend the necessary treatment. I hope that helps and Julie gets better soon.
