Why does my dog keep licking at her privates now? She is 7 years old and has barely started licking there. The vet said she’s fine but she keeps doing that.

Why does my dog keep licking at her privates now? She is 7 years old and has barely started licking there. The vet said she’s fine but she keeps doing that.

• When on heat, a bitch will lick constantly.

I'm assuming no redness or skin irritation bc your vet would have seen that at least.

• A uti infection can have that affect.

Do not put anything prescription topical on her bc what's meant for hoomons can cause a pet’s eyes to bleed.

• A Fungal infection may be present.

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

Something is wrong.

Go to your chemist and grab a tube of canesten cream (internal and external) and stop itch (external ONLY). So long as her skin isn't red raw or bleeding, dry the external area, apply the cream, then give her a bone/chew toy/ stick to chew on. The cream plus the distraction helps in most milder situations.

Lemon juice. If you're willing to try anything.

Pop a teaspoon of salt in a cup of room temperature water, dunk her in it for a minute skin clean.

You can very gently apply a small amount of canesten cream inside her vagina entrance and vulva however its toxic if she licks a fair amount off so use a rolled up towel for an anti lick collar and even though the lickng makes everything except a cut much worse, please let her lick when you dont understand her issue while you have no relief to offer her until the vet provides you with his/her specific instructions regarding what's going on. At that medicated point, the vet will probably not allow llicking.

Internal examination (I honestly think it's internal) and so forth.

Have you ever been forced to dress like a girl?

• Check for Bindi eyes or any foreign object/splinter.

Please give your pup a treat, a collar free neck rub, and a gentle kiss on the head from me 😎✌️

There are many possibilities. Please see a different vet. Inline with the vet's opinion get tests done to find out what's wrong.
