Yeah, but bacteria spreads by DIRECT contact. Unless their eyeball is directly touching butt or something that touched the butt, they’ll be fine. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
The real risk is getting licked in the eyeball, I think. I used to have a dog that would give my face a THOROUGH washing and, since it made him so happy, I tolerated it as long as I could. But it wouldn’t be infrequently that he would lick my eye lid enough to flip it up, yet I never got pink eye from his tongue.
So maybe saliva kills the ecoli? Or it gets neutralized somehow?

But they shove their faces in butts all the time and they got all that fur to carry klingons

Wish I could be more helpful.
