The hairy area around our 8 month "vulva" has a very dark sort of redish color.
Is this a normal color for that area? She was spayed at about 5 months old.
Have washed her (softly) but the color remains...

Thanks!

She's prolly licking herself. I'd have her checked for a vaginal infection or a UTI.

Thanks for the response....
She does lick herself once in a while, but I always thought it is a normal thing dogs do....

Honey's is normally that way, as far as I can tell from what you described.

My Buddie's is like that....when she was a puppy and I first noticed it, I FREAKED and took her to the vet. Was told it's totally normal. I could have sworn it happened overnight and I was so worried about what it could be.....I was a new Mom then....
