| Rubbing Vulva ?? allergies 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 allergies STINK Last edited by dwerten; 02-21-2010 at 03:01 PM. |

| I have to keep Roxys vulva clean and dry every day. I use a tiny bit of the Chlorhexidine (sp?) shampoo. I feed her dried cranberries in her PM meal and she gets the probiotic VSL#3 every morning. I hope you get some answers soon, I know how uncomfortable it is to see them like that... |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Sounds like a yeast infection, how about Monistat, it's available without prescription, and it might relieve symptoms till you get lab results. Yeast Infection Symptoms MONISTAT® By the way, I don't know if dogs even get this, but it sounds so similar, and you did say she had been on antibiotics.

The only concern I would have with Monistat, is whether it is safe for them to ingest. She is bound to lick herself. It may be ok, I honestly do not know. What I have used for fungal infections on skin is 50/50 warm water and vinegar rinses....I think it might be helpful if this is indeed a yeast infection.

I have those dye bottles i use for demi's eyes to clean them so maybe i can mix 50/50 vinegar and water and squirt over area as do not think that would hurt or cause an allergic reaction. I was hoping the hypoallergenic bath would work and sorry i did not do chlorhexedine bath but it is very drying to her skin and skin is a little dry now | |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I don't know, I thought it was a separate test. If you've ever had a yeast infection, you know that they are agonizing, and I get them if I take antibiotics. No other topicals help.

| Roxy has a recessed vulva, so urine collects there all the time. I have to keep her clean and dry as much as possible, otherwise she starts to lick and lick. I like the Chlorhexdine stuff for this issue. Yeast is brown, so do you see any of that? Last edited by TLC; 02-21-2010 at 05:46 PM. |
