Question
I JUST BOUGHT A 2YR. OLD QUARTER PHILLY. I NOTICED WHEN SHE URINATES IT APPEARS MILKY LOOKING. JUST SHE HAVE AN INFECTION AND IF SO WHAT ARE YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS.          THANK YOU

Answer
Hi Dennis.
  I'm not a vet, but  recommend you call one. (Also get a urine sample for the vet to see and test.) Chyle discharge can be quite serious. In a best case scenario (and again, I am NOT a vet) your filly is coming into season and the hormones are causing the change in appearance.
  Good luck!
