Why is my spayed lab still having yellow discharge after antibiotics?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 1 year and 3 months old | 63 lbs

15 month spayed lab. Vaginal discharge---yellow mucous. Antibiotics did not work. Vagina is clean and healthy. But she continues to have this discharge from her vulva.

It could just be vaginosis but that usually clears with antibiotics. I would check with your vet what wayshe was spayed, if just her ovaries were removed she could still have a pyometra. Likewise she could have a stump pyometra. An ultrasound can usually determine this.
