Excessive licking of the private area in a female dog often indicates an underlying medical issue and should be evaluated by a veterinarian to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
Dog vulvar dermatitis appears as red, inflamed, and irritated skin around the vulva, often accompanied by swelling, odor, discharge, or excessive licking.
Clean the area daily with a veterinary-recommended antiseptic, keep it dry, and consult a vet for possible antibiotics or surgical correction if needed.
The fastest way to alleviate vulvar dermatitis is to identify and eliminate irritants, maintain proper hygiene, and apply topical medications as prescribed.
Clean the area gently with a mild antiseptic solution, apply a vet-recommended topical ointment, and consult your veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment.
