i just took dd to internal medicine specialist as she works weekends and our regular vet does not so i wanted a urinalysis and culture done as dd has been rubbing her vulva for two days and took her in a month ago and no uti when i did urinalysis and culture but she was licking down there so she is in cone per vet. She was on antibiotics just stopped 2/4 and been on probiotics - so yesterday she started with this rubbing of her vulva if we put her on the ground so i got a urine sample firs thing this am and took her in as they would not just run analysis and culture for me had to see her which was fine. I will know tomorrow as they are sending out to lab. She thinks like vet probably not uti again and hopes not as we have a hard time with her on antibiotics as some cause hives in her.
If this is not uti what have others used for irritation around vulva? I am going to call dermatologist in am but ims said i can use an over the counter hydrocortisone cream around it in the fold not too close to open area and hypoallergenic baby wipes. It is like she has a rug burn on her vulva and it is bugging her but do not want her rubbing herself tomorrow when i have to go to work
so why i took her in today - she has never done this one before
also she is not in an area with rugs and i removed the dog beds as she jumps in them and rubs herself - poor baby has had a rough two days and still do not have an answer and ims did not sound too confident on the hydrocortisone cream so made me nervous so will wipe her with hypoallergenic baby wipes
we bathed her in hypoallergenic shampoo yesterday and it seemed to help for a little while and as long as she is in our lap she is calm but when we put her on the ground and she gets going she seems uncomfortable
