I'm sorry but I'm not 100% sure what your question is so I hope I appropriately address you issue. If not, you are welcome to post again. If the anal glands have been expressed it is irritating to the animal so they will often scoot for a couple days after expression. Since it is irritating, they will sometimes poop small amounts like that. The URI should have nothing to do with this issue. They are two separate problems. I do not know what her diet is but I would strongly recommend you use Purina ProPlan Sensitive Skin and Stomach. I have had great luck with this food and issues like this. She is very young to already have anal gland problems and this food may help. You should be able to easily find this food locally. ( https://www.purina.com/pro-plan/cats/sensitive-stomach-skin-cat-food ) Change the diet slowly over about a week's time so that you cause he any GI upset. Start with mostly her old food and a tiny amount of new food and then each day increase the amount of new food and decrease the amount of old food. After 7 days she should be eating all the new food. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
