This is called a "vaginal prolapse" and is common in young intact females. It usually happens right before or during the dog's heat cycle. This is a hormonal problem associated with an overabundance of estrogen and usually, spaying the dog will remedy this. It usually happens right before or during the dog's heat cycle.
