NeylasMom Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) So when I got home from work today I noticed a trail of clear mucousy discharge hanging from Violet's vagina. It was probably about 3-4" long, but by the time I grabbed a kleenex out of the bathroom to investigate further, she had noticed it and I assume licked it away. I haven't noticed discharge before and like I said it was clear, but it was quite the trail. Thoughts on whether she needs to see the vet or if I should watch and wait? I would say she's always licked herself a bit more than I thought was normal, but I've had her since July and she has no other symptoms of a UTI or infection - no excessive drinking, never accidents in the house, etc. She's had blood work in the past couple of months and that was normal. If I do take her in, what do we start with? Vaginal culture of some sort, U/A, sterile urine culture?

GreyPoopon Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 FWIW, Jessie's now chronic discharge is from her tail glands, even though it often hangs from her vulva.

Guest twogreytkids Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Had the same situation with my girl once about a year ago. Just monitored. Nothing since. Marcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryJane Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I would watch for a few days but, I would also clean her daily with some mild soap and water - it could just be some irritation and it will go away by itself. Watch for tinges of pink/red when you wash her as it would be a sign of blood. You might also pick up some cranberry pills and give one a day to make sure any bacteria has a harder time establishing itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyB Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Kassie had the same thing last month, looked like a string of snot hanging from her vulva. I took in a urine sample the next day and everything was okay and I haven't seen it since.

NeylasMom Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hope she is okay... Chrisite is going to love this one! Yeah, I was hoping it would stay at the top for a while just for her. Well, I can at least report that there has been no additional (noticeable) discharge since I first posted. I do think she's drinking more water than usual, but it's also been highs in the 70's or even 80 so I think the water drinking is just that. I'll keep an eye on things though.
