Thank you so much. Love the pompoms Well I've just bathed it and now I'm not convinced
The discolouration seems to be all the way to the ends of her hair 3" long, in front of her vulva on her tummy and down to the tops of her back legs it wasn't that bad this morning after I cleaned her last night. Surely licking wouldn't change it that fast?

I'll keep an eye on it and if it doesn't improve I'll take her back to the vets.

I can't remember ever worrying about my kids this much

Haha that made me laugh. I can just picture her.She sounds exactly like Tia. She pees on any bit of litter she finds as well as everywhere else.

I watched your video of your little dog at the beach hunting lizards. She's a little cutie

Maisey this is my 'mode' straight back to the vet if I am not convinced that what they told me is right. If they pooh pooh my worries - go to another vet.

If you are worried about your dog after seeing the vet, you need to either get the vet you did see to speak to you in more detail to alleviate those worries or see another vet to see what a second opinion says.

I like vets who say 'you can call me any time if you are worried even if you just need to talk to me' and I've had two like that in my life of dog ownership and one of them is the vet I have now. He even gave me his telephone number to call him when he was on holiday in Greece when my bella was in a terrible state, 'just in case'.

Tangutica, I'll give it a couple of days and see how she is incase I'm worrying unnecessarily. She doesn't appear to be in any discomfort, if she was she would be taken straight back to the vets.

I've never had a problem with my vet so far and he does seem to know his stuff so I suppose I have to stop being paranoid and give the injection and tablets time to work. He did say that if there was no improvement to take her back.

Good news. This morning when I went to bathe it there was hardly any in her hair, just the small amount that I hadn't been able to remove last night from directly around and on her vulva. I don't like to press too hard incase I hurt her.

Bless her, she just lies there as good as gold while I do what I have to but when I tell her "Go on then, all done" and try to stand her up she goes all floppy and lies on her back again as if to say "Carry on I'm enjoying that".
It must be quite soothing for her especially if it's a bit itchy.

Alfie just sits on the settee curiously watching as if to say "What ARE you doing mum?"

Oh great News!
so sometimes you are just worrying to much like me

but to that marking...
so maybe another reason

maybe by that she says:
Hey you! look here! you might be bidder than me, but I'm the biggest nevertheless! as I'm the BOSS!!!

Haha Mines the same he can go 10-12 hrs through night , then I let him out make a cup of tea and before I close the back door hes up and in my bed where I lay pretending to be asleep, should I decided to try and move him, its like you've had this spot all night its my turn now!!!

And yes when out he feels its his duty to leave his trademark pee everywhere, especially up peoples front gardens, its embarrassing I do pull him away but hes still peeing up himself then.

Haha yes, she's definitely the boss in my house. When we're out walking she always loves to meet other dogs as she's so friendly but if the other dog starts barking at her she always has a go back. She can't even bark properly but that's another story which I might put in a new post.
My 'special dog'

So glad to hear that you are feeling a good deal better about your little girl. Its good to hear that your vet was not too concerned and was able to give you something to help the little one.
Hope she continues to improve - hugs to you both x

I am now looking forward to this new thread about the speshul barking dawg!
