Dog urethral opening has thick yellow-green liquid
The thick yellow-green liquid at the dog's urethral opening is generally caused by balanoposthitis, which is common in dogs. This is often due to the overgrowth of resident bacteria in the foreskin mucosa, combined with frequent riding behavior in dogs, causing inflammation of the foreskin and glans. It may also be caused by early tumors of the penis and glans, such as metastatic sexually transmitted tumor. If pus is found in your dog's urethra, you can clean it with warm water and apply animal-specific antibiotic ointment locally.
Symptoms of Balanoposthitis
Balanoposthitis refers to the inflammation of the foreskin mucosa, which is common in dogs. The initial symptoms are skin irritation inside the foreskin cavity, redness of the hairy skin of the foreskin, and constant licking and biting by the dog. Later, there is inflammatory swelling and pain of the foreskin, enlargement of the glans, and difficulty urinating. Sometimes small ulcers and erosion appear, and a large amount of mucopurulent secretion flows from the foreskin opening. In severe cases, there are systemic symptoms, including lethargy, fever, and loss of appetite.
How to diagnose penile tumors
Symptoms include lethargy, decreased libido; skin pigmentation, bilateral symmetrical hair loss and sebaceous gland atrophy; contralateral non-tumorous testicular atrophy; penile atrophy; prepuce prolapse; female-like distribution of body fat; breast development and increased nipples; prostate atrophy or enlargement (squamous metaplasia); bone marrow suppression; and development of feminine symptoms such as breast development.
Treatment for thick urethral discharge
The overall treatment for thick yellow-green liquid at the dog's urethral opening is the use of antibiotics and local drainage to reduce secretions inside the testicles. Dogs with positive Brucella bacteria and those with severe testicular damage, abscesses, or necrosis require testicle removal. During treatment, dogs should wear an Elizabethan collar to prevent them from licking themselves.
