weird liquid in crate?

Question

This doesnt happen all the time but evey once in a while when I go to let my boxer pup out of her crate I noticed A LOT of clear liquid in her crate. I usually figure she must have just messed in the crate but,when I got to cleaning it I realized it was not urine. It was basically odorless, almost like it could have been water but it wasnt because I don't keep water in her cage unless im gone for hours. Has this happened to anyone's animal and what is it? My vet is closed today so I plan on talking to him tomorrow.

Answer 1

When you go to the vet, bring a list of the cleaning products you use in your home. Your dog might be having a reaction to one of them, and while he's not having full-on seizures as reactions to the products (believe me, you'd know!) they might be irritating him.
Last month my dog was having a hard time settling down for a nap, and after he finally went to sleep I checked on him. He was lying in a pool of his own saliva (odorless, watery)! He's a fussy dog and would never choose to lie in anything wet, so I took him to the emergency vet. Their best guess was that he had seized, and asked me about detergents and cleaners for my house that I had changed. We had used an anti-mildew spray on the shower curtain that a.m., and I think that's what Flop reacted to. It was scary, but it hasn't happened since.
Sorry I don't have more specific info!

Answer 2

My friends doxie barks and throws such a fit in the crate she drools and it makes a huge mess of liquid in the crate and on the floor in front of the crate.
Could this be it?
Unless she has thrown up water but then it tends to be smelly.

Answer 3

as its clear and odourless i would think the fluid is saliva. boxers do salivate alot and dribble all the time.
logically it doesn't sound like it can be anything else.
