| Licking of Genital Should I be concerned about my yorkie licking her genital? Almost every 10 minutes she licks it. I tried washing it water (without soap) and she still licks it. |

| Is she spayed? My Bella is going through her first heat right now and she is licking herself often.

| I agree with every one else, she may have an infection. She's really to young for her heat. I would take her to the vet before it gets out of control. Good luck.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | When Cali had a UTI, she peed on my bed for the only time ever and constantly licked her self there. I took in a urine sample and they sent me home with meds for her.

| Sorry for the late reply. I took her to the vet and the vet snipped some hairs on her genitals and washed it with sulfur soap. When we got home she never licked it again. The vet says something is itching in her genitals that's the reasob he washed it with sulfur soap. |
