Senior dog with white/bloody vaginal discharge: Should I see a vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund | Female | spayed | 16 years and 6 months old | 11 lbs

I have a 16 year old dachshund who has high blood pressure and has been dianosed with Cushing. She just started having a white discharge from her vagina. Sometimes it has a little blood in it and other times it’s white. There is no odor. She has a history of getting infections. Should I take her to the vet? She is on high blood pressure medication and liver medication. Her appetite is fine. She eats like a little horse.

Yes, I would recommend to take Cessa in for an exam. The doctor may recommend to test her urine for infection and will do a vaginal exam to look for signs of infection, tumors..etc. Your little girl sounds like a trooper. I hope this helps and thank you for using Pet Coach!
