Hi,

My 11 week old golden female was diagnosed with an involuted vulva at 9 weeks and subsequently a UTI. She has been on amoxicillin the past 10 days. I do have to wipe her at least 5x per day. I contacted the breeder and they said they were not made aware by their vet at her check up of this vulva issue. My concern is that this has a 50/50 chance of correcting itself by her growing in the next 6 months AND letting her go thru her 1st heat cycle. If the heat cycle doesn't make the vulva "pop out" then an episoplasty could be performed and has a high success rate. I am contemplating returning her to the breeder, which makes me feel bad since I have had her for 3 weeks but I don't have a good feeling about this.

Has anybody had this surgery done on their dog and was it successful?
