My dog's vulva was cut during grooming. Should I go to the vet?

Oh no! Grooming accidents happen quite commonly. From the picture, it looks as though Bella's vulva is simply irritated and does not actually have any broken skin. She should be perfectly fine, but if she seems to lick excessively, consider using an e-collar (cone) for the next few days. If the irritation spreads or does not improve over the next few days, Bella should take a trip to her vet. I hope that all goes well!

My guess is that she got some razor burn around the vulva. Do you have any hydrocortisone cream? If so, I would use that. Just put a thin layer on the vulva (not inside) twice a day. Do not let her lick it off. If she is licking you will need to get her a cone collar to wear. If you don't have any hydrocortisone cream you can get some at any drugstore. I recommend getting 0.5%. These ones that are made for dogs would be best. You can get them at Petco. I prefer the spray to the cream. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/zymox-hydrocortison-cream https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/zymox-spray-with-5-hydrocortisone https://www.petco.com/category/dog/dog-health-and-wellness/dog-first-aid/dog-recovery-cones Hope this helps.

It looks from the pictures tha the best way to treat this wound would be stitching it up or surgically removing the thin flap and leaving the wound for healing by second intention. The wound is fresh so it can be safely stitched up if it is done without delay. Please, take Sage to your local vets today.

The main probem here is that your dog is licking the wound and that she is rubbing it on the ground. You will need to get an e-collar to keep her from licking and you may need to put a t-shirt or similar cover on the dog that covers the wound. If the wound turns red, swollen, oozes pus or other fluids, you should have it examined by your veterinarian.

I think you can try to treat it at home first. I suggest you use these medicated pads topically. If after 7-10 days there is no improvement or they are worse then your vet should take a look. Hope this helps. Best wishes. ( https://www.allivet.com/p-5393-douxo-chlorhexidine-3-ps-pads-for-dogs-and-cats-30.aspx?SearchTerm=duoxo%20pad+Auto )

This looks like a mass adjacent to the vulva, and it is probably not related to the recent grooming. This could be a benign mass like a lipoma or could be something more serious, and I would recommend taking her to your veterinarian to have it examined. They may want to take a small sample using a needle. Another possibility would be a hernia, although this is a little less likely based on your picture, but a veterinarian would probably be able to determine whether or not a hernia is possible based on an exam.

Thank you for the picture of Milu's ear, it's very helpful for my answer. That appears to need stitches, so yes you need to take her into a vet immediately to get that treated. I'd give her vet a call now to let them know what happened and that you'd like to bring her in as soon as possible to get it treated. I hope this helps.
