Puppy Vaginitis: One serious problem that can occur with puppy vaginitis, is a urinary infection , which can include the bladder , and then can possibly ascend into the kidneys... It is best to have it checked by your Vet and appropriate Meds prescribed to prevent such Urinary infections. Word of caution, however although Baytril is the drug of choice in many of those Urinary cases, it is not wise to give it to young pups as it can cause developmental orthopedic problems But there are other acceptable and useful medications that can clear it up.. Best advice...Don't fool around with it..See your vet and get it handled...

The vulva will usually pop out once she has one or two heats and has a chance to grow/develop. I would clean her daily with a wipe in the meantime until she starts cleaning herself more on her own. Antibiotics for 10 days should cler it up rather quickly. If you spay her before her first heat, her vulva will not develop and you may always have this as a problem. I have had it in young pups, and once they go into heat the problem disappears.

Nikita was beautiful, and though she was never fond of men, she was devoted to me, took well to training, and got along with my male GSD and my parents little mixed breed dog. When I got a kitten several months later, she would play with him and I never worried about her harming him. She was also very gently with small children. Her most wolf like behavior was her howl. I've always regretted never getting a picture of her - I still miss her. I agree they are not the same as dogs, and some have more of the wild nature than others, but some can be wonderful pets. A big concern for rescue is whether they are even legal in the area. Around here, they are not legal and if they end up in a shelter for any reason they are immediately euthanized.

Mountain Standard Time, Scharo777@xxxxxxx<mailto:Scharo777@xxxxxxx> writes: About 20 years ago my daughters current boy friend decided it would be "cool" to get a wolf hybrid puppy. They brought one home that looked mainly like its husky half. Athena was only five weeks old when they got her. My shepherd bitches mothered her. She grew up surrounded by and treated as a German Shepherd. Consequently she acted like a German Shepherd. I never detected any wolf characteristics , except she did howl a lot. And when she had a litter of puppies and she decided it was time to wean them, she would regurgitate her food for the pups. Why, you might ask, did she have pups??? Well, I came home one snowy afternoon in December. (Yes, one of the few times it did snow in Texas) As I was about to scurry into the house I heard strange noises in the front yard. LO... There is Athena, tied to BIS 3X Sel Champion Scharo's Spellbinder rom. And she is trying to drag him across 2 acres. Of course no one is in sight. so there I am. In a light jacket-In a Snow storm. - NO boots No gloves. Holding on to Athena to protect my dog's private part that he just had to stick in her. HE TIED HER FOR 45 MORE MINUTES. Was anyone else around. O NO. Could anyone hear me yell. O NO. Was I upset? O YES Everyone claimed it was an accident, but I believed the "boyfriend" thought it would be funny.Did we get Athena spayed O YES We kept her and got rid of the boyfriend. Anyway, family relations survived all that trauma. And Athena was an excellent mother. (All the puppies looked like mainly like straight shepherds.) She did have one bad habit She would occasionally escape and take my Prime Time daughter, Ch. Panache, with her and chase deer. I got several calls when the neighbors saw them actually take down a deer one day. Actually, Athena became a much loved member of the family. She was a house dog, totally housebroken, and was obedience trained. The whole family mourned when she died of kidney failure at age 7. HE was buried with honors in the shepherd graveyard. **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.
