My friend contacted me about her dog “princess “ and this is her rear end. She wants to know what is this. We are really concerned.

It could be a ruptured anal gland abscess. An exam with your veterinarian will confirm this. Place an e-collar (cone) on her to prevent licking. If it is an abscess, it will need to be flushed and cleaned. Antibiotics and pain medications will likely be indicated.
