Dog Discharge

All dogs constantly drip smegma, a greenish yellow or creamy yellowish discharge from their sheaths which they themselves customarily clean. This drip conies from the space, a deep pocket, between the sheath and penis. There is nothing abnormal about it. However, some dogs that fail to keep themselves clean become objectionable because of it.

Douching this pocket with a mild antiseptic under fairly strong pressure will do a lot to reduce the amount of drip. If there is inflammation the condition is known as balanitis.
