I tried not to be too graphic in the tread title. I have noticed that Poppy has started licking alot in her vulva area. At first I thought she had went into heat on me, but luckily that was not the case. After looking around to see what was going on I noticed there is some hair on a fatty section of skin just behind her vulva that was laying in the vulva entrance. It was pretty yucky and I clipped it to get it out of the area, but I know it will grow back. I pointed it out to her vet and she said they sometimes see this and it could lead to reoccuring UTIs and had just done plastic surgery on a 3 year old lab who had a similiar issue.
My question is this-
should I have that area of skin removed when I have her spayed. Estimate is $200
or
is it something that the groomer should shave every time and that would eliminate the problem?
Have any of you had the same issue with your females?
thanks in advance
