Question
just got her and was at vet 5 days ago, every thing ok. but we have noticed that when she pees there is a light yellow/green discharge. almost like a mucus. we are alittle freaked because our very first pitbull (we rescued) started out with puppy vaginitis and then it was one thing after another and dematologist, shots etc. what do you think this is? all shots up to date and she has been spayed.
thanks

Answer
Hi Eve,

Female dogs will have a minor discharge from time to time, so I really doubt it is anything to be worried about.  If it were me, I would keep an eye on it, and if it continues or gets worse, then take her to the vet for a check up.  I tend to think it's nothing, but it's better to be safe than sorry.  Check her every day, and if it gets worse, or if there is a red tinge (blood) in her urine, then be sure to take her in.  I doubt it's anything to worry about, but better to be safe than sorry so keep an eye on it.

God Bless,
Becky
