My dog's anus is bleeding, has a bump, and struggles to poop.

Question

Hello, My dog's anus is bleeding. For the past few months, I noticed that he's been having difficulty defecating. I noticed a small bump near his anus before. I want to bring him to a veterinarian but my mother does not allow me to. I am worried and I want to know what to do. Thanks, Monica

Your dog should definitely get checked out by a vet. A lump near the anus could be an issue with an anal gland, anal fistula, or a tumor. The vet will do a thorough exam and can discuss additional diagnostics needed to determine what is going on.
