Hai..it could be tenesmus....meaning a pain in the inside of anus with an urge to defecate & usually a symptom of colitis or dysentery. Are there ant blood stains in the stools. I suggest you start giving her zinc supplements & see your Dr for a proper advice on antibiotic. Happy to help anytime. If my answer has helped you...kindly rate it.
