Okay so for the last month things have been weird for punky. It started with some digestive upsets and then she had a herpes flare up that shes thankfully recovered from but now here's this: Let me give some background info. So she pretty much has had vaginitis off and on since her first heat april 2022. I had her spayed in July 2022 and that seemed to totally cure it. Until october 28 it came back during the herpes flare up which makes me wonder if its virus related . I have researched it could be anything from bacterial, viral, parasitic, her anatomy, FLUTD or UTI, allergies, hormonal, and so on. I've never been poorer and sadly I can't afford any vet testing at the moment, especially during this time of year. I read that untreated vaginitis sometimes resolves on its own but it can also predispose to bigger problems down the road . She is being her normal playful energetic hungry self and has the whole time shes had to deal with this. Her symptoms are swollen vulva and a pee smelling discharge that is sometimes clear, sometimes cream colored. She eats mostly wet food and I'm doing my best to give her plenty of fluids to flush out any bacteria. She doesn't like plain water so I give her diluted tuna water. Anybody know any lifestyle remedies to support her vaginal health and urinary health? Like probiotics? Diet tips? L Lysine? Urinary support supplements? ACV? Has anybody experienced this w their pet? I feel like a failing pet parent because I cant afford vet care I do everything within my power to support my babies and make them as healthy as possible and it feels like its always one thing into another into another!
