My little girl Belle's swollen vulva has been getting smaller since the vet put her on antibiotics 6 days ago. I am extremely relieved that we seem to have dodged the bullet on this one. It is still a little larger than normal, and I will keep a close eye on her. Thanks again to all who responded with suggestions and good wishes.
