GeckoTree Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I just want to know how many have had a dog with an inverted vulva, and if corrective surgery was needed in your case. My dads dog has one, he found out today she had a localised infection, slight redness etc not to bad, but he did not notice anything out of the ordinary and shes been givin a course of antibiotics to treat it. Can it cause a big problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scales of Justice Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Can it cause a big problem? The answer to your question is usually not. Inverted vulvas rectify usually after the first season, but they can cause infections before that. I presume your father's dog is only young.

Sam&Saki Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Yes Saki had an inverted vulva. I had to let her have two seasons for it to correct itself, but far better to do that than desex her and leave her with chronic UTIs and vaginal dermatitis forever more! I believe corrective surgery is generally only needed on bitches who were desexed before the problem corrected itself. Allow them to grow into an adult hormonally, and everything is fine x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Is your Dad's dog desexed? If so, was it done rather young? I gather this can be an issue for bitches desexed as very young pups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanky Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Going off the thread in general RebLT's dad just had his dog desexed and the vet found this problem at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
