Why does my dogs vagina look like this? She was recently in heat I’m not sure if she’s out of it yet but noticed her vagina was inflamed and just today I noticed it was pink. Yesterday her whole vagina looked like her bottom half.

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It looks like your pet has a case of vaginitis, inflammation of the vagina, or she has an ongoing discharge, possibly due to an infection in the cervix or uterus. She may need antibiotics, especially if she is off her appetite, drinking an excesssive amount of water &/ or peeing a lot, or seems unhappy or lethargic. Otherwise, if she seems normal, give her a few days to see if things begin to clear up. You can use warm water, or a gentle facial wipe to keep the area clean, & monitor for any further changes. Hopefully, all will be normal soon. Take care.

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It is unfortunately very difficult for me to tell based on this one photo if this is normal or abnormal. I suggest you take her to your vet for an exam. It would be abnormal for a spayed female dog to have vaginal discharge. If there is discharge, it either means there could be a stump pyometra or some type of urinary issue as both the reproductive and urinary systems empty into the same area. If the skin around the vulva is discolored this can often be normal but can also indicate a skin infection. It is best if you have a vet examine her in person. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
