StaffSam Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hi all... I feel very 'needy' at the moment with so many questions lately. This is the first time I have had a female pup. She is nearly 13 weeks and I have just started noticing a yellow/ pale green good mucous coming from genital area. I have noticed it a couple of times after she has wee. She seems happy and full of energy as usual but doing smaller wees than normal also? Is this an infection or normal unspayed discharge. Have vet appoint for needles on Wednesday... Should I take her sooner? Thanks in advance for any advice... Ps I mean gooey mucous not 'good' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 puppies can get vaginitis ... or bladder infections . Get it checked ...and do NOT vaccinate a sick puppy - it plays havoc with their immune system ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mim Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 My friend's dog has had this since they got her at 8 weeks, although it is not yellowy, it's more cloudy/colourless. She's seen vets who have tried antibiotics but it didn't clear up. It hasn't gone away since being desexed either. They have had a little breakthrough just recently after seeing a new vet, it was suggested it may be a link to allergies as the dog was licking her feet and had inflamed skin on her legs, chest, ears, typical allergy stuff. A course of antihistamines and so far no more mucus has been observed. It doesn't seem to affect the dog in anyway though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 A course of antihistamines and so far no more mucus has been observed. Thats a very good outcome for that dog -however any yellow/green discharge can well signal infection ,and obviously needs checking :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espinay2 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Puppy Vaginitis is fairly common. Repro Specialist Dr Hutch considers it to be normal for a growing bitch: http://www.greatdane...y_vaginitis.htm (one of the many places where the below is quoted) Question: Dr. Hutchinson-what is the treatment for puppy vaginitis & does it lead to problems later in breeding? Answer Dr Hutchinson: Puppy vaginitis is a NORMAL mucous production in young bitches before their first heat cycle, the total treatment is warm water on a cotton ball and wipe these bitches DO NOT need to be on antibiotics it does NOT lead to infertility and it does NOT make them prone to pyometritis it is not an infection at all usually it's worse when the humidity is high.

Tara8430 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 My girl had that as a pup turned out to be a bladder infection, she had high pH in her samples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffSam Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Thanks everyone for your comments...I have noted that it can either be normal or infection cause of colour...
