My welsummer always seems to have poop hanging off her butt..I wash her as often as I can. No signs of anything wrong around her vent. Poop is even solid when its hanging there, nothing really loose that i can see. Anything i can do to help her? My BO who has a much fluffier butt is always...

where???
