i am sure inverted vulvas happen but honestly do not know of one case ever in 35 years in dogs so i would be willing to say it is the exception and if a vet did not diagnose it then it is not a good idea to recommend allowing a heat and i have never seen anything but anecdotal evidence that...

great points, showpug yes, a 72+ hour contagious disease and bad temperament guarantee is also a good thing to have. sheepjoke
