How to tell the difference between puss and mucus?

Christina Chambreau Even if you think it merely mucus (clear, thick, etc as Krista said) and decide not to go to your vet, this is now a time to begin thinking holistically, realizing that there are a lot of very minor symptoms that can indicate an internal imbalance – see more at http://christinachambreau.com/learn-more/free-articles/early-warning-signs/early-warning-signs-of-ill-health. Feeding fresh food, not vaccinating except for rabies, avoiding chemicals (in food, fleas, yard, house, etc) and learning Reiki or other healing methods will help you deal with discharges of pus or mucus.
So what the heck makes a dog’s stomach quite upset for about 3hrs and then all seems normal again without vomiting?

Anything to create a barrier to protect the skin from Wandering Jew? ? T-shirt not likely to work, how about liquid bandage type of thing?

Today, twice, Cookie had a longish string of “snot” hanging from her pee pee region while on the walk. She seems fine otherwise, pays no attention to it and I haven’t seen any since. Woot is that about now? (seemed odorless and colorless)
Based on the latest research, what at what age would you recommend spay (GSD)

Jen McKnight As young as your vet will allow. At the humane society I work at we do them as young as 8 weeks due to the high volume of animals we receive and need to get into homes. Most private vet clinics like them to be a little older but I would assume most vets would do it around 4 months.

Christina Chambreau Most importantly, Jana – there is no one right answer. Studies do not take into account each individual difference, so I do not recommend basing your decision merely on statistics and studies. I
strongly recommend finding an integrative veterinarian with whom to work. This
is a person trained in many different approaches, including using conventional
drugs only when absolutely needed. Working with one can increase the chance
that your GSD can live a long and healthy life. By evaluating the subtle clues of health, they can help you make the best decision. There are good ones and great ones, and a few
homeopathic veterinarians will consult by phone or email.I agree with Krista. For my holistic clients who can absolutely promise they will never leave their in heat female alone for a single minute outside so there is no possible chance of getting pregnant – I recommend waiting until after their first heat at least, maybe longer.I also agree with Jen – when you are working with shelters and seeing too many homeless animals – spay and neuter at 8 weeks. One problem with that is there are some indications that animals spayed and neutered that young have aggression problems as they get older, so then end up back at a shelter!

How do you figure a dog can come from a swampy area with the rear end completely wet and the front end dry?
She also is sore this evening, which might or might not be related as crazy active. No specific leg seems favored.

Cookie just jumped off a snow bank and “fell”? to the sidewalk; I could hear the clunk but couldn’t really see what she hit in how fast it happened … assuming head … ? She seems fine, do I freak out?
