| Problem w dog licking genitals until they bleed, any help hi, new to this site, hope i am doing this all correctly. i have a 10 month old female yorkie. she just went thru heat, finished about a week or so ago. just in the last 24 hours, she has been licking herself so bad that she is nearly bleeding (actually little specks of blood on the surface - like bad chaffing). any suggestions on what i can do for her. looks painful. i put some bag balm on it for critters, not sure if poisonous for her. she is about 5 pds. pls help if u have any input. will take her to the vet if necessary, i do as needed. she has cost me more in vet bills than i paid for her, lol. just want u all to know that i will do what is necessary for the puppy. thx bunches for any input. |

| You should deff take her to the vet ASAP as it sounds like she has an infection like a UTI or Pyometra. Either one of those need immediate attention. |

| Run don't walk to the nearest Vet. Your baby is in pain. They lick to try and make the pain go away.

| That's a skin infecton. Was it on the outside of the vulva? Thought sure she would have a uterine infecton of some kind. What type of medication did the Vet. give her?

| Keep us up on her progress. Poor little soul. She must have been so miserable. Give her a big hug for me.

| I am glad to hear you took Bella in and she is doing better. I know what you mean about her being worth a lot. I call Buster my money pit. For a while it seemed we were running to the vet every week dealing with some new issue. I have received the reimbursement of my investment in love and licks = priceless. Have a wonderful time with your sweet Bella.
