Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sweetums is adorable! As long as the rectum is prolapsed (a red tubular structure is coming out of the anus) and she isn't scooting what you are seeing is probably normal. Sometimes the anus can look prominent after a bowel movement or if she has to go. Have a good day
