Guest taylorsmom Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 (edited) GOOD news! Ok little Missy....no more licking delight ok sweetie? I know!! Silly girl. Actually, this brings up an issue with Rita that I had kind of put on the back burner in the past, but I think I need to revisit. She has that extra fold of skin over her vulva that can cause things to get kind of irritated down there. A past vet recommended vulvoplasty (I think that is what it was called) to excise the extra skin but I decided to hold off on that and see if I could keep it clean and uninfected. If this is going to cause problems in other areas, though, perhaps I need to rethink the idea of surgery, I don't know. From what I have heard (on GT and elsewhere), the aftermath of the surgery can be very painful, but is usually very effective in clearing up the infections etc. that they can be prone to. Unfortunately, Rita is licking because she is irritated there again--I have not been as rigorous as I should have been in cleaning her up there, which I will now get on top of again.

CaliforniaGreys Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 My Misty has the same problem and should be having the surgery. I've read several post here from people who had it done and are very happy with the results. We're not doing it because my vet feels that if we can't be sure that Misty will not be able to lick the area after surgery, he won't do it.Cleaning the area every time she pees is very important. If not bacteria will form and the constant licking can cause UTI's. Plus the area gets very irritated and hurts them. I try to keep Desitin creamy on Misty because that really helps. Hopefully people who have experience with the surgery will chime in here.

Guest Ingear Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 My girl had the same problem when I got her. A ruptured salivary mucoseal ( Spelling??). They started by aspirating it but that didnt work so they had to do surgery to remove it. She was fine and never had any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First chance she gets I like the creamy because those of you who have used it with babies, know how tough it is to come off Quote Missing my little Misty who took a huge piece of my heart with her on 5/2/09, and Ekko, on 6/28/12 For the sick, the lost, and the homeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
