white drop after peeing (dog F/S)
After our pup urinates, there's a little white-ish drop in the hairs around her vulva, even though her pee was clear.
Probably unrelated, but hey - it's part of her nether region history: There was a lump about the size of half a walnut around her spay scar when we got her - it increased in size for about a week, then went down. The vet ruled out hernia, and thought it might have been fatty tissue around the healing scar. When it went down, it went down fast and was completely gone within a few days. I am going to catch a sample of her urine and bring it to the vet tomorrow, just to make sure. But in the mean time, what could this white drop be? Does anyone have any ideas? |

Sounds like a yeast infection. It can go away by itself , if not , she'll need antibiotics.

Hm. Interesting.
We switched to biologically appropriate food recently (within the last month). Her system might be clearing out the grains and sugars and fillers from the Hills and MediCal she was getting prior to that. Those are excellent yeast foundations. I'll still take the urine in to the vet tomorrow, but I'll also give her some extra alfalfa, a/c vinegar, zinc and yogurt. Thanks Frenchy! Last edited by Marcha; September 1st, 2009 at 08:03 PM.

It wasn't a yeast infection - instead, it's a bacterial vaginal infection. Bladder hasn't (yet) been affected - whew! So we're on abx now, and will re-test her urine in 2 weeks.

Yeast is actually a fungus, Frenchy--bacteria are...well...bacteria. They respond to different meds--antibiotics won't work on fungi like yeasts.
