| Licking the "cookie" Darla had her heat couple weeks back. I left for Amsterdam on the 7th and she had started spotting a few days before that. She is constantly licking her cookie. Almost as if she has fleas but she doesn't. I'm watching her tonight and what we've thought she was going after "fleas" is actually er cookie she's going after and licking feverishly. Could this be a yeast infection? She's had no diet changes no flaky skin her cookie isn't red or swollen. I'm at a loss here. No blood either. Any thoughts? |

| I'm lost by the terminology. Are you talking about her licking her vulva? Is the area swollen or reddened? If so, and she's done with her estrus, she could have an infection of some type and a vet visit is in order as she could be itching and licking herself raw seeking relief. She sounds pretty uncomfortable if she is constantly licking to stop itching or pain and believe me, severe itching is just as stressful as pain. Vet her tomorrow and hopefully the they can help your baby girl.

| I get it...not lost at all. While it may be completely normal as they do clean themselves, it could be a vaginitis. I would take her to the vet for a check up. Good luck!

| I did understand "cookie" was not an actual cookie since it was in quotations lol but yes I would definitely see a vet....she may have an infection. |

But no worries, you can use actual body part terms here, too, and we won't think you are tacky or X-rated! Now I've learned a new slang word to my list!
