The appearance in the dog of various secretions from the loop can be a consequence of normal physiological processes or dangerous pathology. They represent the appearance of a liquid substance from the vagina, which is transparent, bloody, purulent green, brown (after birth).
Features of excretions in females
Physiological (normal) discharge from the loop appears in the dog during or after the estrus. They are transparent, do not have an unpleasant sharp odor, sometimes contain impurities of blood.
It is important to remember: in a pregnant dog any discharge from the loop should be generally odorless, in other cases it is necessary to contact the veterinarian. For example, a dark green liquid with an unpleasant odor indicates, most likely, the death of the fetus, with urgent surgery you can have time to save the rest of the puppies and the female.
Excretions from the loops of the dog first 2-3 days after birth are first brown, then gradually lighten. The main thing is that there should be no putrefactive smell. Abundant outflows (possibly with blood) that have a sharp smell - a symptom of the fact that the placenta has left in the uterus, which will begin to decompose, will cause intoxication and death without treatment. Bright blood discharge in the dog after childbirth from the loop indicates bleeding, without assistance the pet can also die.
Pathological discharge is a sign of various inflammatory processes, such as vaginitis, hemometer (bleeding), purulent pyometra (inflammation of the uterus), venereal sarcoma, the liquid has a purulent appearance - yellowish green, turbid, with a bad smell, with bleeding - bright bloody. Depending on the diagnosis, the doctor will prescribe antibiotic therapy, in most cases, surgical intervention is necessary.
It is important to understand - if the animal has suspicious expirations from the vagina (except for natural), a specialist consultation is needed to prevent the sad consequences.
