Strange behavior after vet takes stool sample

lovepink

I have an eight year old Shiba Inu and she had a check up last month with the vet. We didn't bring a stool sample so they had to get one out of her there. She's had this done before, and while going to the vet is never a pleasant experience for her, she's been behaving very strangely poop-wise ever since. She never used to even try to poop on our walks, and now she tries ever time - it's almost like she can't control it. It's not runny or anything, she just can't seem to help herself pooping. And just now on our walk, (I apologize for how gross this will sound) I wasn't sure if she was trying to poop and it was all bloody and drippy or if it was the inside of her butthole turning out (because that's what it looked like). I'm wondering if this could possibly mean they just made some kind of mistake this time, and if it will fix itself? I'm very worried about her, any advice at all will really help.

Hun, You need to get that pup to a vet as quick as you can.

Sounds to me like if you dont..You may wake up to your dogs insides laying on your carpet.

The mistake is not bringing her to the vet.

Good luck and keep us posted.

UPDATE: vet said it was just a harder than normal poop, and if she isn't showing any signs of straining (which she isn't), or scooting, or licking or pain at all that she's fine. she said this happens to most dogs from time to time, and it hasn't happened since that day! just thought i'd let you all know she's just fine
