| Pregnant and constantly licking vulva Hi, ok so my brother's chihuahua is about 7 weeks preg. and I noticed her licking herself more than usual. She also drags her rear end on the carpet but it seems she is targeting her vulva. My brother has been gone hunting most of the time, so I'm here tacking care of her. I checked her vulva yesterday after school and I found that on the back side, in the crease, it looked like dry blood. I was so alarmed so I tried washing it gently with warm water and soap but it's still there like she scratched and licked it too much. What can I do?? Wat can it be?? Vet appt is on fri but until then wat should I do? I put a diaper on her so she can't lick or drag her butt, but is there anything I can put on her? |

| Pregnant females have a clear, gooey discharge from their vulva. The closer to delivery they get, the more discharge you will see. The females will lick themselves to keep clean. Some females get a big belly and are not able to reach their vulva so it is important too keep the hair trimmed so the discharge does not build up on their hair. Some females will lick themselves a lot more when they are close to delivery. I pray the momma has a safe whelping.

Senior Yorkie Talker | ? Hello, I am not a breeder but did have one liter. My girl had the same dried blood on her vulva and was constantly licking it. It turned out blood is NOT good and one puppy had died inside her. If this is the case she would need an antibiotic so infection does not set in. I would get her checked out. Good Luck!
