No idea what the right euphemism for this is, so apologies in advance for graphic detail.... does anyone else's male dog produce unpleasantly large amounts of discharge from his willy? We have little yellow spots all over the black floor-tiles that he lies on, and I've a horrid feeling that means there are also little spots everywhere else in the house but they just don't show up so well. Is this just another thing like dog-hair that we have to put up with? Euch.
If you think it's too much go to the vets to check that. A little bit is normal but shouldn't be very much. Our problem with Barney's spots stopped few weeks after castration
Firstly, you have black floor tiles with a yellow lab? Maybe it's time to take them up and re-tile with some nice tumbled travertine I think male entire dogs have this err....secretion. Benson was particularly bad this in the mornings.Seriously was close to getting Y-fronts for him. Both our neutered dogs have nice clean willys. Since Benson has had the Suprelorin though the discharge has reduced to the same as the other two neutured dogs
Charlie used to have this but it went away - reduced to just about nothing. I still cover beds and mats and sofas with towels and throws that easily go in the washing machine, but it just went away as he got a bit older.
It could also be an infection. Bones got it a couple of times; it had nothing to do with being neutered or not, it was just that bacteria had made a happy warm home for themselves inside the sheath of the penis. Yuk. If that's what it is. The vet will give you a special washing lotion to deal with it. Of course, I could regale you with the delightful stories of what this cleaning and washing entails - but I'll leave it to your imagination.
Yes, they are the one bit of the house that has not been converted to something pale mottled cream over the last twelve months. Big sigh.
Rosie ,Dexter used to spot a little when he was younger ...it,stopped once he was neutered.On one occasion it increased slightly and went a slightly greeny colour....I was straight to the vet.It was an infection.I left equipped with some antibiotics and ah hem....a flush!So if you need any tips,I'm your girl as there was no way Chris was stepping g up for that job! It's kind of a low point in dog ownership! Seriously I'd get it checked if you think it's more than normal x
Snowie is also a yellow (actually white) lab and thankfully we have cream carpets and cream-painted wooden floors so you don't see his hair! Our linen is white, however, and these definitely show up the yellow spots! He went through a phase of discharging frequently. We believe it was either because of allergies or to do with his then untreated epilepsy, not sure which. He was also discharging a lot from the anal glands (you think yellow spots are bad!) and that has stopped, too. We think the yellow spots and anal glands discharge have stopped because we have limited his food (only duck, no chicken or other proteins -- trying to figure out what protein he is allergic to) and he is now on epilepsy meds. Not sure which of the two has helped stop the discharges. Actually, sometimes he has a tiny bit of discharge and, if he is lying on our bed on his back, then I quickly grab a tissue and give it a wipe. What is it with husbands?! Mine won't touch Snowie's penis either! He says it's a boy thing! Funny though, Snowie goes deliberately to his side of the bed, before we've get into bed and lies on his stomach and then drags himself across the bed, much to my husband's dismay -- and joy when he sees the duvet cover is still clean! Snowie is intact, but judging from how it has stopped now, I wonder if that has anything to do with it? Our vet did tell us that intact males can experience temporary incontinence when sleeping as the bulbous urethral glands on either side of the penis get hard perhaps from a dream (this has happened to Snowie on a few occasions). But I don't think this is connected to the yellow spots.
My entact 3 year old lab has always had a light yellow discharge from his willy. I asked the vet about it when he was younger and she said it was fine and quite normal. Little yellow spots on the tiled kitchen floor can be quite stubborn to clean one they've dried.
