Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. What you are describing could be a yeast infection in the folds of the vulva. I would recommend cleaning this several times per day with a spray such as malacetic conditioning spray and apply to the area until resolved. This product can be found online quite easily. If there is no improvement or she worsens, I would recommend having a veterinarian examine her so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I would definitely have her urine tested to make sure there is no infection. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
