Dog on antibiotics has milky vulvar discharge. What should I do?

Question

Hello! My almost 4 year old Tibetan Spaniel just started an antibiotic treatment today for a staph infection created by an oronasal fistula. The antibiotic is called Stomorgyl 10. Her first dose was this morning and late this afternoon I noticed she has light yellow/light pink, thick, milky discharge from her vulva. The smell is not repulsive but smells a bit like pus...please, what should I do? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 13 lbs

Hello, & thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Stomorgyl is a common antibiotic also known as metronidazole. It is unlikely that starting the antibiotic is the cause of Chloe's vulvar discharge. It may be just a coincidence & if this is an infection as well, the Sttomorgyl may help. So, do not stop the antibiotic, but do contact your veterinarian at your earliest convenience in case he wants to culture or do anything in addition for the discharge. Take care & all the best to Chloe.
