Pixel has been a bit shifty tonight, sitting down, ears back. I noticed her licking down below and yes it's definitely sore. She has a very inflamed looking vulva.
Vets closed, what can I do to help?
I have read witch hazel which I don't have - i could maybe head to asda and get it if it will help.
Any idea?

She's spayed isn't she??
Hows her urine?? Just wondering if it's burning when she's going for a wee? Is she drinking normally??

yes spayed - yes drinking normally, no idea about when she wees - I haven't noticed her hurting. She has had this before - like in the folds and she had to have antibiotics too - quite a long course actually.
But it's to give her some relief until Monday really

I don't know what that would look like. It sticks out a bit?

There's a condition called puppy vaginitis where they get like a diaper rash.... red/irritated. I'd try something soothing like an ointment you'd use on a diaper rash. Maybe something with zinc oxide in it. Not sure what you have over there. I wouldn't use witch hazel. That's an astringent and that will STING sensitive tissues! Do you have A&D ointment? Or maybe just plain old vaseline?
Edit: I wouldn't let her lick at it, especially if you put an ointment on.
