Doggy " discharge" ?
HI.I have a 6 month old cross breed femail terrier of some sorts. I got her from the SPCA. She appears healthy etc. Ive noticed that in her bed there are some sort of *rice grain like* " droppings" . I cant see that they are " alive" . It looks like when they " appear" or are produced, they are soft, because some of them are smeared on the bed, the others harden. Do you know what causes this? Thank you. Cindy
