My mixed breed Dalmatian has this ugly sort of rash on her stomach and vaginal and anal area it's pink in colour... So I'm guessing it's a fungal infection or bacterial I don't know... Does anyone know what to do or what to give her...??

Place an e-collar (cone) on Snowball to prevent licking which can delay healing or introduce bacteria. Have her examined by your veterinarian to diagnose the cause of the rash. Antibiotics can be used for bacterial infection, antifungals for a yeast infection. Topical and systemic treatment may be necessary. Do not give any medications to Snowball without the advice of a veterinarian. Legally, we are prohibited from recommending medications in the absence of a physical exam and a patient-veterinarian-client relationship.
