she was sore around her vulva because of skin folds and sagging from age. they cut around and lifted it but she's still sore after 3 months. still peeing on her fur which causes a rash like before. i don't think it worked, any advice?
Answers:
Keep her rear area clean by using a baby wipe at each outing for potty. The soreness I believe you are describing stems from the moisture being trapped by the elderly skin folds, and is usually similar to a yeast infection in people. By frequent cleansing you can eliminate the over-growth of microbes that are causing the problem. Having a groomer give her a 'sanitary clip' will also help.
Try using the same cream thats used for babies,the one for nappy rash (diaper rash).Good luck.
For your dog your could put a small amount of either destin or some neosporin.
I have had older female shepherds with that problem, all the answers before are correct, keep her clean, use a cream, also it's not bad to give your dog acidophilus, it will help with the yeast infections and keeps the digestive tract healthy. As always though check with your vet, because they know your dog best. Good luck!
