Calling all FEMALE puppy/dog parents. I have a couple of questions. :)

[JeannieCO]

As you know, this little sweetheart Gywnnie is going to be mine in a couple of weeks. She will be the first female puppy/dog I have had in, oh lets just say many many moons. Aside from the normal puppy stuff, which I'm all too familiar with right now since Wilson and Jack just turned 1, is there anything I need to know about Female puppies/dogs? Like does their 'girly' area need to be cleaned a certain way, etc.?

OOoooooooo... I am just too excited about the little girl coming home to you!!

Yes, I clean Banks' hooch after she goes pee... as a pup she had UTI after UTI so I got in the habit of clean the hooch just like we do her tail pocket. We also had no plans to breed so we had her spay done at six months to avoid a heat.

I clean with a baby wipe or sometimes just a damp paper towel. It can get pasty in there if left alone. My girls never had a UTI so they get checked and wiped twice a week, I find that sufficient. What a doll baby.

Im so happy for you!! You have to clean her vagina because they are prone to UTIs. Mocha had these several times and it was awful! I would get her spayed in time also as this helps prevent UTI,s and other girly problems.

 

[JeannieCO]

Thanks for all the tips! I suppose if I can be a professional booty wiper, clean out of Wilson's
mouth, I can clean a hoochie too. She will be spayed. I'll have th boys nipped in April we won't have to worry about that issue. I read more UTI posts soon so I can become familar with them.

I can't wait for her!!! :D

The first time Mocha had one, she had a fever and she was yelpping and didnt want us to touch her belly. It was so sad to see her like that and she was only about 4 months old!! Another thing is that their vajayjay will swell up when they get one of these. I think I posted about it a couple of times here.

I use an alcohol free baby wipe on macy. But i only do it after a poo since thats when macy needs help. She cant take a poo without getting poo all over her bum. Lol. So i wipe her lady part first and then move on to her bum. She too is scheduled to be spayed at 6 months.

sarah has had a couple of yeast problems in her lady part folds so make sure as with other folds its dry after cleaning. congrats my friend. good for you.

I must be very very lucky as with Maggie we haven't had any UTI problems or yeast problems. I do wipe her with the baby wipes for sensitive skin ... the same as I use on her butt and her wrinkles ... tail pocket .. EVERYTHING!!!

Apart from that .... expect some serious attitude from a girl. As we all know .. girls rule ... and your baby girl will be no exception!!!

 

[JeannieCO]

Ok, I have baby wipes that I use on Wilson's face & booty and keep that area dry. I'll use the same ones for Gwynnie on her "lady parts" if she's has any issues of course. [MENTION=1710]LisaMarie[/MENTION], thanks for that info. This girl stuff is all new to me.


[MENTION=959]kazzy220[/MENTION], I expect some serious girl's rule attitude from both of us, lol.

Sounds like you need a Bidet!
Wow..50 years of having girlie dogs...never had these issues!

 

[dozersmama]

Yet another reason to stick to male dogs for this girl.

 

[acarabias]

I clean Katara's private area with a baby wipe about twice a week. Gosh, Gwinnie is so adorable!! Can't wait to hear all the stories of when she comes home!

I do have to wash BabyGirl down everyday because her urine irritates her in the folds of her girly bits plus my carpeting is on the rough side so I think it scratches too! She has never had a UTI though.
