aussielover Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Not sure which forum to put this in, but I thought breeders would have the most experience in this area. My puppy has a deep set vulva - has a fold around it, which means she is prone to UTIs and pyoderma in that area. The vet suggested it may come good as she gets bigger. she also said we might have to let her have one season so that it does come good- how would this help?. Has anyone had this problem in a pup before and what was the outcome? she is a guide dog puppy, so i don't have a lot of say in her treament plan but any suggestions I could pass on would be very welcome If she is very prone to uti's and keeps getting them she may not make it as a guide dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRUVIC Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Allowing her to have that first season DEFINITELY helps!! Because when the vulva swells during the season, it pops out and tends to remain in a better position from then on. I have two young females (sisters!!) who have both had their first season over the past few months and their vulvas are sitting MUCH better now. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 My girl had an inverted vulva as well but after her first season, it popped out and stayed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMonaro Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Have had this before in bitches and it fixed itself as they matured. Another thing was after bath or swim time, we made sure that we dried under the fold of skin as well. Although being told they were more prone to UTI's etc....none of the ones I saw ever did.
