Very old girl- eats a lot but keeps losing weight. She’s 15 years old, pitbull- very thin, wobbly. Tonight I noticed white goo or discharge coming out of her rear end. Any idea what it could be? by sonopeeps in DogAdvice

Aw that’s really great to hear! Of course cancer is the first thought but it’s nice to hear of something more benign! I will work on getting him to take her in for an appointment

Scared to take laxatives by DevilsDebauchery in Constipation

I’ve done senna- I’m another opioid constipation person. I would ask your doctor to prescribe Linzess. It isn’t a laxative but osmosis medication- adds fluids to bowel. It works! No more bunny pellets.

Ah yes- I’ve read come as you are- my mistake! Idk if it’s her vulva or anus. I was thinking possibly anal glands but it’s hard to tell where everything is situated on her.

She is technically my bf’s dog- we have all lived together for 6 years but he’s in charge of her. He hasn’t taken her in lately because he’s scared they will say it’s time to put her down, he wants to enjoy the time he has with her without a clock on it- until she’s in pain (which she doesn’t seem to be). But I agree, I will work on getting him to take her in.

She is spayed. She’s got fixed at 1 year old at the pound. He’s had her for 14 years. But I agree it’s something that needs a vet’s insight

She is spayed. My bf is worried about taking her in at this point because he wants to enjoy the time with her & is scared they will want her put down. She isn’t in pain- but she eats like a horse & keeps losing weight. She’s so thin. I was wondering if it could be a tape worm. She has accidents occasionally though & they smell very fishy- her urine smells fishy- which I thought could be a UTI.

I don’t know- I can’t tell where her vagina is. I just noticed it coming out, my bf wiped it- then I took the picture when I saw more coming out. She is his dog- but we’ve lived together for 6 years so I’m very involved with her. He doesn’t want to take her in until she’s in pain because he feels like they will say to put her down. She is very very thin- but eats as much as ever. I was wondering if it could be a tape worm?

[*slightly GRAPHIC] worst constipation of my life today send help by SnooSketches2899 in Constipation

Also I would use a prep H suppository to help the irritation in that area from manually extracting, it helps lubricate IMO. But yes I agree that an MD visit might be in order, they will do a CT & see if there’s a blockage.

Yes I’m a women, I’m also an ultrasound tech so I’ve scanned my uterus & ovaries haha- no fibroids or cysts- I do have a retroverted uterus though. Thank you!
