if it were my guess it is late result of unfortunate/ untimely spay. Price I heard quoted around here is $2500...

Poor Ellie can't catch a break! 
I hope the antibiotics and pain killers help her for the time being. It sounds very painful.
I never knew that a dog's "button" can all of a sudden become inverted. I always thought it was something they were born with. You must have been terrified when you discovered it.

I wish Ellie would catch a break also, poor little girl. She sure has had mountains to climb, and hopefully she improves quickly for you.
As I read these posts, I am learning.
Prayers and Sheltie Hugs Ellie

You got that right. I FREAKED! Where the #ell did it GO?!? I NEVER ever thought that body parts suddenly got sucked up inside! I kept thinking--OMG, is that why she's bleeding--it got torn off?!? I know it sounds funny and I will grant a full pardon to anyone who laughs.

Sorry Ellie is having such a tough time. Gypsy has an inverted vulva also but it does not sound as far gone as Ellie's. One thing that I have mentioned before and has helped a great deal is wiping her with babywipes when we come in. I think it has really cut down on the bacteria getting in and causing infection. She hasn't had a UTI in over 6mos.
Really? Was she born that way? Ellie wasn't. That is what freaked me out.

No laughing from me. I would've have been just as freaked out.
Bailey's vulva is not inverted, but it's very, very small. It's smaller than my 5 pound Chihuahua's. I just have to make sure it's clean and trimmed, so no urine can pool inside or bacteria can grow. I used to clean her with baby wipes every night, but she is doing a good job on her own of cleaning herself.
She had so many UTI's as a puppy, it was a nightmare. Thankfully, a 250mg of vitamin C a day has solved her UTI issue.
