My puppy was spayed. Why is she leaking clear fluid? Is it normal?

Question

My puppy was just spayed on Monday and yesterday and today her vagina is literally leaking very clear, odorless and water like fluid. So much a few times I thought it was pee at first. She seems normal otherwise and is playful, eating and drinking and not lethargic. What is this fluid and should I take her to emergency care??

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. This may be vaginal discharge, and vaginal discharge can be common. It can also be that discharge from the vagina can be a sign of an infection called vaginitis. Now this would be much more worrying if there was pus or blood in the discharge, or if she was lethargic, not eating, and not drinking. Given that she is acting normally, it's fine to wait to take her into the vet to get this checked out on Tuesday (after the Monday holiday). If this discharge appears bloody, contains pus, she becomes lethargic, or she stops eating and drinking, have her seen by an ER vet immediately. I hope this helps.
