Little yellow spots on blanket from puppy

Question
QUESTION: We recently rescued a bloodhound mix dog from the humane society. She is almost 6 months old. We let her sleep on her bed and have started noticing little yellow spots on our comforter. I wasn't sure if this is dried saliva or pee or something else. There are quite a few spots, not just 2 or 3 and they are not very big, about the size of a pea but still very noticeable. Any help would be great. Thanks!

ANSWER: Hi Brandy;
I am sure he is marking his territory in your bed...by spraying, so, I would keep a good eye on him at all times.
You cannot be sure, though, so, make sure he is watched for vomiting as well. Cause he could have the parasite: "Coccidia" which will require Albon, or Primor from your vet!
Let me know what goes???

QUESTION: Our dog is a girl. Do female dogs still "mark" their territory? I didn't think they did. I don't really think she is doing this because the spots are so small like its just a drop.  

Answer
Hi Brandy;
Some females do pee to mark their territory, but, I thought your dog was a male..
I think she may be nervous, due to her new surroundings...but, keep an eye out.
She may have the other problem I mentioned, which then you need to take her to the vet.
Dogs of new environments need some time to adapt to their new places.
So, be patient!
Best regards,
Melissa
