Budyjelle Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Maxine is 22 weeks old and 9kg and today I noticed a small amount of what looked like blood on her vagina. I don't think the area is swollen (?yet) and I cannot see any evidence of an injury. She seems to be licking herself a lot and also "scooting" on her bum. I was surprised about the latter as she has been dewormed and is still on a monthly program of deworming. Is it possible that she is coming on heat? She is booked in at the Vets to be desexed on the 10 April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucknow Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Yes it is possible to come on so early but especially given the scooting I would not just presume that is the cause of the blood. It could be anal glands, urinary tract infection, of even a sign of trauma. I would get her checked by a vet asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budyjelle Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) Thank you Lucknow ...I do intend taking her to the vet on Monday. She had her first professional grooming (wash/dry and trim) last wednesday......I thought they routinely checked anal glands...should I have asked him if he did them/would do them?

Rysup Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Not all groomers check anal glands. I didnt do them LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverblue Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I don't do anal glands either ewwwwwwwwwwwwww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 We do anal gland checks on all clients & inform the owners if theres a ig build up. Its easy to do in the bath & no big deal. Not all groomers do them,some will charge more. She could be in season & it could be a UTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cockerlover Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 It is possible for her to be coming in heat; but more likley anul glands; or ut infection a vet check is in order .let us know how you go please'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budyjelle Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Yes Cockerlover (I love them too btw)....Maxine has a "graze" on the skin right near her vagina.....her anal glands are fine and a wee test has been taken for a micro and culture test. The vet has given me some ointment to apply so I hope that this works for her. Thank goodness Maxine is NOT on heat :D How she suffered a "graze" right there is beyond me ...though her Cocker genes have sent her burrowing into dense bushes/undergrowth on occasion...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
