My dog's vulva is wet and stinky, but it's not a bladder infection.

Question

Hi! Silva has wet spots around her vulva that stink. Tested for bladder infection (none). Got antiniotics and chlorgexidine pads. Did not work. We cut the fur, started washing and drying every day. Seemed to help, but now it's back. Hope to avoid antibiotics, she took too many this year. She does not scratch it. Licks once a day or so. Happy and playful, but seems to pee when she's not planning to. Diet: one-third dry and canned food, two-thirds home cooked meet, gizzards and veggies. Thank you! Pet's info: Dog | Newfoundland | Female | spayed | 1 year and 9 months old | 95 lbs

I would recommend a urine analysis to rule out complicating factors such as urinary crystals, stones or infection but incontinence is also a distinct possibility especially in a spayed female. There are effective medications which can be prescribed by your vet should other causes be ruled out
