| I would give her a bath in a shampoo for sensitive skin. If the rash doesn't go away or gets worse, she may need a trip to the vet- which your friend should be doing soon anyway for puppy boosters. Benadryl is OK to give- rule of thumb is 1mg per pound of body weight. May want to check in with your vet though first. |

| A rash on her "girly parts"? The discharge is likely puppy vaginitis and is totally normal with young puppies. If the rash is also on her girly parts and looks a bit like pimples, also don't worry about it. They are kinda sloppy when they're young and first learning how to clean themselves so they get those little bumps. |
