JarrahVet · Perth
Does your female dog keep getting urinary problems?
Repeated toilet trips. Accidents indoors. Persistent licking. Another uncomfortable episode just when you thought things had settled. When the problem keeps returning, you deserve a clear explanation of what to investigate and what may help.
A clearer next step for you and your dog
JarrahVet starts with understanding the problem. A review of your dog’s history, previous results and current symptoms helps shape an individual plan. The aim is to identify contributing factors and explain your options in language you can use.
For some female dogs, excess skin around a recessed or ‘hooded’ vulva contributes to recurring irritation or infection. Corrective surgery called vulvoplasty, also known as episioplasty, may help when an examination and investigation show that this is part of the problem.
Surgery in clinic. Personal care at home.
The JarrahVet approach brings assessment, a carefully considered treatment decision and recovery planning into one connected conversation. When surgery is appropriate, it takes place in a suitably equipped veterinary clinic. Your plan explains which consultations and follow-up visits can take place at home.

From a recurring problem to an informed decision
-
First, tell us what has been happening. Your dog’s symptoms, previous treatments and laboratory results give the consultation a useful starting point.
-
Next, agree on the assessment. Your vet explains what the examination suggests, which tests may be useful and what each result could change. Not every dog needs the same tests or treatment.
-
Then, choose the next step together. That may be medical management, investigation of another cause, or a discussion about vulvoplasty. If surgery is recommended, you receive a plan for the procedure, costs and recovery before deciding.

My aim with JarrahVet is to make a recurring problem easier to understand and the next decision easier to make. Your dog’s comfort, the reasons behind the treatment and practical support during recovery all belong in that discussion.

When your dog needs urgent help
If your dog repeatedly strains but passes little or no urine, seek urgent veterinary care now. Do not wait for a website enquiry response. Marked pain, vomiting, collapse or rapid deterioration with urinary problems also needs prompt hands-on assessment.
Your questions
Clear answers before you decide
Do I need to know whether my dog needs surgery?
No. The consultation is the place to understand the problem and discuss options. Requesting an assessment does not commit you to an operation.
Is this service only about vulvoplasty?
The starting point is recurring urinary problems in female dogs and whether the skin and structures around the vulva (external female genital area) are contributing. Other findings may point to medical treatment or additional investigation. The consultation helps identify the appropriate next step.
Can you use results from my usual vet?
Previous records are valuable. With your permission, relevant notes, urine culture results and imaging reports can inform the assessment. The arrangements for obtaining and sharing them will be confirmed with you.
