Hello, from the photo the dog may have a uterine prolapse or a vulvar tumor, which is serious. We recommend taking it to a vet promptly for further diagnosis and treatment. If these problems are real, medication cannot cure them and timely surgery is needed.

If it is a uterine prolapse, first rinse it with saline to keep the protruding uterus from being licked or dirtied and to avoid infection, then take the dog to the vet promptly for suturing and fixation.

That protruding flesh at the vulva is not something to sit on, I learned the hard way when a friend's dog had a similar bulge and it was a prolapse. You cannot fix that with medicine, it needs a vet, and the longer it's out the more it swells and gets damaged. If you can, rinse it gently with saline and stop her licking it, then get to the clinic the same day. Surgery is usually the only real fix.
