Vulva mucus coming too early

[regan2012]

He bathed her early yesterday afternoon & cleaned the area in question well. Late last night he checked her and there appeared to be no discharge. However, this morning she has a small amount on her tail. Also, it's consistency has changed; thick & all white?

Is there a very large amount?

If there is, a vet is your only course of action, and even then if she is about to abort there is little to be done.

I still think it sounds like vaginitis. I'd be careful wish washing that area..........if this is vaginitis, the body is trying to correct the PH of the vaginal area and washing it will disrupt it further, even if you dont use soap. If it gets real gunky, of course, you'll want to hose it down if you can to prevent it from developing sores.

You can feed her a pint or so of active culture yogurt to help get that PH back in line, but it sounds like you may have a "dripper'. Is her belly dirty? If she, she is laying in dirt and that could well be the cause here.

Anyway you could post a pic of the discharge?

This Friday afternoon.

This is this morning. The stuff on her tail was about 3 inches long. I'm not sure if that is a lot or not. I wiped it off her and the tail with a paper towel. Her vulva had a combo of gunk and manure... Any thoughts?

OK, thats a little more than I'd be comfortable with.

Are her bowels loose?

I'd go ahead and the vet check her.

Are you sure her due date is August? Did you have her bred or did you buy her bred?

My guess would be a vaginal infection rather than birthing discharge. Definitely a job for the vet.

Mine too and ditto.

Thank you everyone. I was able to speak with the Vet early today. I will let you all know in a couple days how it all goes. Wish him luck!
