Vaginal health: No need for shame or fear. Unusual things sometimes happen and that is normal for a dog. Likely there won’t be any negative outcome. To be safe, wash with a feminine soap and do a natural douche, such as VH Essentials, which is available on Amazon. You could also take the VH Essentials probiotic just to be safe.
