Mucous secretion from dog's urethral opening
Your dog's urethral opening has a mucous secretion, which may be caused by an external skin infection. If this is the case, your dog can wear a headband and combine antibiotic treatment. If it's not a skin infection, you need to determine whether the secretion comes from urine or the uterus. X-rays, blood tests, urine tests, and ultrasound can initially determine whether the reproductive and urinary systems are normal. For uterine problems, the most thorough solution is sterilization.
Red secretion from dog's urethral opening
There may be several reasons for a dog's urethral opening to have a red secretion. First, a female dog's urethral opening turns red due to estrus. Second, a dog with a red secretion may have a urinary tract infection or cystitis. Third, the urethral opening may bleed due to external force. It is recommended that the owner analyze the approximate cause of the red secretion from the dog's urethral opening and take corresponding measures.
Thick white secretion from small dog's urethral opening
A dog with a thick, white secretion from the urethral opening should be considered as genital tract secretions or urinary tract secretions. Genital tract secretions are mainly abnormal secretions from the glands during estrus, and the possibility of genital tract infections should be considered. It is recommended to use genital tract irrigation to cleanse, which also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Urinary tract purulent secretions should also consider infections of the urethra and bladder, and it is best to consult a veterinarian to determine the cause of the disease before taking symptomatic treatment.
Treating dog's urethral opening secretion
If your dog's urethral opening secretes a purulent liquid, it indicates a urinary tract infection. It is recommended that the owner take the dog to the hospital as soon as possible. Meanwhile, it is best to prepare an Elizabeth collar for your dog. Because the urinary tract is infected, the dog will feel very uncomfortable and keep licking, which may lead to further bacterial infection and exacerbate the condition.
