What is the reason for fluid flowing out of dogs’ chest? If you are interested, take a look

What is the reason for fluid flowing out of dog's chest? The cause of fluid leakage from dogs may be caused by infectious diseases, tumors, visceral diseases, bacterial infections, or other reasons. It is recommended that you take your dog to the veterinarian as soon as possible to rule out the disease and determine the accurate treatment plan.

1. Pregnancy

If the dog has been bred and white liquid flows out of the chest, it is likely to be milk. Because the dog's breasts will grow in the later stages of pregnancy and will secrete milk when it is about to give birth. This is a normal phenomenon and indicates that the dog is about to enter the delivery stage, so the owner needs to pay attention to observation and care for the dog recently and be prepared to deliver the dog.

2. Fake pregnancy

If the dog has not been bred recently and white milk flows out of the chest, it is necessary to consider that the dog has fake pregnancy due to hormone disorders in the body. Because the symptoms of fake pregnancy of dogs are very similar to those of pregnancy, and they will all have symptoms such as enlarged abdominal circumference, increased appetite, redness of nipples, and milk secretion. Therefore, if the owner cannot tell by himself, it is recommended that you take the dog to the pet hospital for a B-ultrasound examination in time to determine whether the dog is fake pregnancy.

3. Mastitis

Under normal circumstances, the milk flows out of the dog is usually white and clear liquid. If the liquid flowing out of the dog's chest is very viscous or smelly, it is likely that he suffers from mastitis. If not treated in time, the inflammation may continue to spread. Therefore, it is recommended that the owner take the dog to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time, and take care and feed medicine according to the doctor's requirements to restore the dog's health.

4. Pleural effusion

When a dog experiences pleural effusion, due to a large amount of leaking fluid in the chest, fluid will flow out of the chest, and symptoms such as dyspnea, listlessness, and decreased appetite will also occur. However, none of these symptoms are specific. The diagnosis of pleural effusion requires X-ray and B-ultrasound examination, so it is recommended that the owner take the dog to the pet hospital for examination as soon as possible.
