Question
I have a chocolate lab who is 12 wks. old and i noticed after she was done peeing there was a yellow discharge coming from her private area. Why? Also it seems like she is peeing alot lately (today 5 times in less than 2 hrs). I do not give her alot of water to make her pee that much. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks Nicole

Answer
Nicole -

It seems as though your puppy may have a bladder infection. Bladder infections are very common in female puppies.  See your veterinary professional as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and treatment.
