I've posted on here before about our 9-year-old lab acting strangely.
Her drinking had increased majorly (think litres per day) & she was doing a strange dip/lick thong with her head - almost as if she was licking imaginary pups.
We took her to the vet who tested her urine & said it was clear so no diabetes (which I'd been concerned about due to increase of water)
She was due to go into heat in February but this was practically non-existent - she dripped a couple of times but that's it.
The vet watched the video I had recorded of the strange behaviour & laughed!!! Said she'd never seen a dog act like that before but that it looked like she was getting ready to throw up (she has never thrown up after an episode like this) and she wasn't concerned about the strangeness of her season.
Anyhow that's the back story - dog is still acting like this. Except the past few days we thought she had went into heat as there were pale drips on the tiled floor - but the drips didn't look like blood. More pale pinky cream - and dog smells awful. I've had to chuck out her bed & steam clean the floor.
Ff to yesterday & today & she's got a green/snotty looking discharge.
I tried calling our vet but they're closed until tomorrow (easter holidays) - I've Googled & it seems it could be an infection?
Ddog isn't neutered, vet won't do it as she said dog is too heavy (she's not obese, she's a greedy lab but runs the fields daily!) Though has went off much exercise in the past week.
Has anyone any experience? I'll obviously call the vet in the morning to get an appointment.
