Question

My pitbull Sandy's vagina is swollen and taw looks like some kind of infection. How do i treat this? Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | unspayed | 90 lbs

That looks pretty abnormal. I recommend Sandy be examined by the veterinarian. She likely needs either antibiotics or antifungal medications. This could be related to something like a bacterial infection, a yeast infection or a hormonal imbalance. She also needs to wear an elizabethan collar at all times to prevent any licking. Do be aware that sometimes a bladder infection can present this way as well. I hope they figure out the issue quickly.
