@Dr. Jeff @Dr. Christina
Greetings to you both and a couple of questions...
First thing is our dog Peaches (11yo spayed female bichon-maltese mix, 10lbs, good BEAM, all standard vaccines up until she was 6, no medications currently) seems to have some redness and slight swelling in her vulva and is licking it a lot. She otherwise seems totally fine. I am wondering if she might have an UTI? I'm inclined to take her to the vet, but am also wondering whether or not a compress with a particular flower essence (or something else) might resolve it? And also if you have any insight into what might have caused it in the first place? Is is similar to anal gland issues where an infection is symptomatic of a larger imbalance?
Second thing is that I am in search of a vet in either Mendocino county or Nevada County (both in CA) who would be able to procure and vaccinate Peaches with one of the Boehringer Ingelheim rabies vaccines. I'm more than happy to do the leg work, just not sure how to locate a vet using these vaccines in the first place?
If it would work better to book a 15-minute appointment to discuss both issues in depth, I am happy to do that.
Thank you!
Kate
