What's on my 11-week old puppy's vulva? Vet's closed, is it urgent?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 4 lbs

I found this around my 11 week old puppy’s vulva. What can it be? The vet we usually go to is closed until Monday. Will she be fine until then? Is there anything I should do meanwhile?

This looks like a minor superficial skin infection. I would not be overly worried. Just get Ivy to the vet when you can get an appointment. It is not an emergency. I suggest you just leave it alone and don't put anything on it until you see the vet.
