going pink!!

[Sarah Jane]

Hi All in need of some help
Winnies inside back leg has turned pink...............what should i be doing to help
the only think that has been diff to the norm ...is they have been eating more lamb than normal

[kizkiznobite]

is she licking it - as in do you mean the fur is pink or the skin?

[Sarah Jane]

think it's both....but more the fur............will have a look see
And yes she has been licking it thismorning

[kizkiznobite]

licking usually means an ache - like us rubbing a aching joint and the iron oxides in the slobber make the fur go pink - like that picture of fudge puppy where she been well washed by mum

apple cider vinegar helps stop the pinking but you need to see why she licking - has she sprained  the joint - do the hot spot test

[storm_survivor]

My dog has been licking inside his groin too. What's the hot spot test?

[Val]

You move your hands slowly over your dog to feel a change of heat, hot spots on dogs are usually the sign of a problem on the inside

[Sarah Jane]

Ok will do 

[Sarah Jane]

No hot spot  what can it be
I have cut away all her fur from her bits and bobs cos she does tend to wee on her self  but i did try to grow it long again..wondering if this has had anything to do with it

[GSPmad]

bramble scratch or insect bite or anything?

[kizkiznobite]

yep could be gsp also poss urine scalding? why does she wee on herself - ami has huge fluffy trousers as you can see from the pics of the walk lat sunday - she never wee's on herself - does she over clean her bits after a wee?

[Sarah Jane]

Hi .........Winnies trousers seem to soke up her wee,i am forever washing them ........so have now resorted to trimming them right back
And no it is the inside of her leg not near her lady bits at all so it  isn't pee thats done it i don't think ,i no clumbers should have trousers they look much better with them but have cut em off
i think she wee's on herself ...........cos she seems to squat very low
and no she doesn't wash her self to often.........
May be it was is a bite but i carn't see anything

[Val]

Too much washing shampoo damp draws 

i am forever washing them

same on both sides or more on one side than the other? 

[Sarah Jane]

It is both the same not one side more than the other.

Val.........but what else should i do if i don't wash them she smells of wee rearlly bad ....also its the urine staining too
I thought i was doing the right thing by keeping her a clean girl........my other bitches don't have this problem and i don't no what else to do about it

[Val]

Rinse her with just water and make sure she's dry
