    • It sounds like an intestinal problem. Maybe parasites. You should probably take a stool sample into the vets office to know for sure. I would stick with one food and not change it. Changing foods really does a number on a dogs digestive system. As for her anus, I would bet that she has hemorrhoids due to the staining to go potty. As for the pumpkin that someone suggested, that only works for constipation.
