My puppy has dirty fur and pus after peeing. Is it juvenile vaginitis?

Question

My 7 week old puppy gets very dirty after she wees, the little hairs get crusty and stale and collects dirt from the ground. I try to clean her with warm water and a soft towel. Yesterday she did many drip wees and today she has some pus. I gently clean the pus away. It's not red. Is it juvenile vaginitis? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 17 days old | 7.27 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Without seeing her it is hard to say what is going on. It could be an external skin infection or a urinary tract infection. I would recommend cutting the hairs around her vulva to prevent continued contamination and bringing her to a vet with a fresh urine sample to rule out infection. If necessary they can get her some antibiotics. Good luck and kisses to Amaya!
