font-family:Arial'>I’ve not had a boy dog before Elvis who is approx 5 or
so and has been with us since late August. He was picked up by animal
control as a stray, but OBVIOUSLY loved and well cared for, and was still
intact. He was clipped at the pound and has never, so long as we have
been observing him at least, had a “carnal moment” with anything (furniture,
leg, another dog etc.) Today he laid down on the floor in the sun to warm
up about 5 minutes after a trip out to the yard. The sun on his belly
revealed an opaque, thick-ish white “discharge” from his urethra –
just some in the opening but not on the fur etc. Now aside from the
obvious explanation, is there any reason to worry? He has been hormone
free for almost 4 months and has never shown any interest of any kind in any
dog or thing. Unfortunately, in my line of work I read a lot of medical records
(usually only of folks that had problems or were atypical) and am cursed with a
streak of curiosity, so I had to ask.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
