[Whitedobelover]

my dobers have greendischarge coming out of their vuvla and penal area... Im so upset.. not sure what it is... my vet wasnt to conclusive about it either....she said that she thought princes normal discharge and thought tasneems was vaginitis but the tests were incuclusive...

then they did a urine test... and crystals were present but told me not to change their food... what do i do or have any of you been in this situation..

[Whitedobelover]

And your 2nd question, yes, sexually transmitted diseases from breeding

 

[Whitedobelover]

thanks tail_chaser.... ill do that looking now... youre awesome

 

[Whitedobelover]

now ive read those but would his penis be red red or just red... because it is pinkish red and on the darkside of that... hmmm i think your right so ill continue the antibiotics but im takin them to another vet and asking for a second opinion... cause theyshould have been placed on a diet to disolve crystals... and i knew that but she insisted that science diet was the best... ugh

 

[Tail_Chaser]

oh yeah, definately need a 2nd opinion

 

[Whitedobelover]

god.... that is the first thing i asked beinga nurse... shouldnt we change their diet... and she said ill hae to think about that
and then came back and said no
so second opinion is definately going to have to happen

 

[Tail_Chaser]

Did those questions kinda fit your situation? Was it alkalyine crystals?

 

[Whitedobelover]

she didnt say but im guessing it was... because she just said crystals... and i know there are a few different kinds.... but they have to be caused by protien and that is exactly what i was thinking when i talked to her today... just exactly what that ad said...

i appreciate it

 

[Tail_Chaser]

no problem =) you are welcome

 

[Whitedobelover]

I just hope that changing their diet will help them and get them over this crap...

Discharge?

Whitedoberlover,

I found your post on the discharge in your Dobermans and was wondering what you ever found out and how it was treated?

I have a 4 1/2 month old Dobergirl that has a yellow/green discharge after peeing. It looks like snot but is at the wrong end.

She doesn't seemed to be bothered by it and does not have to go very often. She has held it for long as 8 hours in her crate at night.

Anyone with any ideas?

Thanks

I have a female GSD that had that same kind of discharge. It turned out to be an interuterine infection, which can be life threatening. I would take your pup to the vets ASAP, as these infections get very serious extremely quick.

What you are referring to would be called pyometra and is almost unheard of in females under one year of age, but you are correct in saying that it is VERY serious and life threatening. Easily prevented if you have your female spayed.

As far as green discharge goes in puppies or in males, it is really not all that uncommon and may be nothing. Some dogs have it and some puppies have it and outgrow it. Almost all male dogs will have green/yellow discharge on occasion coming from their penises and this is normal. As far as your female goes, if she is a puppy then it could very well be vaginitis and will go away, but if it's an intact adult female then defiantly have the vet check her for pyometra.

This is a sign of a urinary or digestive infection, go to the vet and get her evaluated

I have never seen it from much else, but hey anything is possible

If she is showing no discomfort, it's probably juvenile vaginitis. This is common in puppy bitches as their bodies start to change hormonally.

It's good to have a vet check, but if it is JV, it will resolve on it's own.

I've had it in the past with males... but not in pups or females.....a little applied medication cleared it up. I found it more common in my un-neutered males.

My girl had puppy vaginitis at that age too. Green discharge, vet gave me antibiotics, but said it wasn't something to worry about.

Thanks for all the replies. I think I will just keep an eye on it for now. I dislike using any more antibiotics than is really required. Is there any thing short of antibiotics that will help?
