: hi...I have a jrt/whippet mix (4 mo old/nutered), and about a week ago he started wetting himself submissively, but only on rare occasions. it seems that his confidence is up, and i'm not sure that it's the tyical submissive wetting one would expect. what leads me to believe this is that the last instance of wetting, the dog was 'releasing' urination along with a yellow creamy substance. I've already scheduled a vet appt for next week, but I'm curious if anybody else has ever had the problem of a yellow cream coming out of their dog's you know what? Any info would help ease my mind....thanks.

Hi Paul,

I'm not sure that it's a case of submissive urination either. You are absolutely correct to have the pup examined by your vet but given his age and the discharge you describe, I would try to get him into the clinic as soon as possible.
