Sore 'down below'

I took MJ for his VHD jab today and got the vet to check Pippa as I thought she'd lost weight (she hasn't). I also got vet to check her 'bits' as they look swollen despite being spayed a couple of months ago.

The vet's given me some Fucidin cream for once a day after bathing it with boiled cooled water. Just wondered if anyone had any ideas/advice on this? MJ does chase her a bit, could he have caused this? Vet said it was possible but I don't know how to stop him. They do love each other loads so seperating them is not an option.

Thanks xx
 
hi,just a thought but is there an unpleasant smell and goo round her bits?its just i used to have to bathe elvie-woo regularly as she got older simply because she got infections in her folds around her nethers.

No there's no smell, the vet just wrote 'inflamed vulva', just looks red and swollen
 
Anyone else has any ideas regarding this? :D

I've just put the cream on and my son said it was 'utterly gross' :lol:
 
Alice had sore looking smelly bits a while ago and we thought it may be bunny thrush. The vet gave me some hibiscrub first, which I diluted, to take away any bacteria that may be there, which I used for a few days. This seemed to clear away the smell but she still looked sore.

I took her back and she was given fuciderm which I used for 5 days and it seemed to clear up all the redness.

The smell didn't come from the folds of her bits. It was more like some cheesy stuff that had collected around them. The vets put it down to her being too warm (when the weather was really hot), so they shaved her bits and that seemed to cure it once and for all. :shock:

Hope that helps!

Hi

Have just been to the vets with Princess to get her teeth done and the vet noticed her 'bits' are swollen. It doesn't hurt her though and vet said it was fluidy. The vet isn't sure what is wrong + to keep an eye on her. Obv talked about atypical Myxi but wondered if there are any other causes? I wondered if she had reacted to a plant? I have been away for the past few weeks so don't know how long it has been there.

Thanks for any help.

Gosh this thread is old, saying that Pippa still has swollen bits that are a bit crusty. The vet doesn't really know what it is but it's not got worse, in fact has improved and doesn't bother her so we're happy to keep an eye on it.

Hope Princess gets well soon xx
