My Cocker Spaniel has had diarrhoea and I was wondering how I can soothe her inflamed bottom?
Her digestion is back to normal now but she is still very sensitive there. She is a 9-year-old Cocker. Thanks.

Hi there,
It’s quite common for a dog’s bottom to get irritated after a bout of diarrhoea. You can gently clean the area with lukewarm water and then pat it dry thoroughly. If she isn’t licking the area too much, you could also apply a thin layer of a soothing or healing cream specifically designed for dogs. Do keep an eye out for any significant swelling, bleeding, strong smells, or obvious signs of pain, especially as Cocker Spaniels can sometimes have issues with their anal glands following digestive upsets. If things don’t improve quickly or if she’s licking the area constantly, it’s best to book a check-up with your vet.
Best wishes,
Romane
