I agree
With vaginitis a dog can sometimes rub their vulva alot on things
I was worried about dd having a uti turned out she did not it was just allergies as she was rubbing her vulva on stuff and agitated - no discharge though but i took her to ims as it was on weekend and i asked her about vaginitis and she said no way that is only if you let a uti go too long
If i were you i would do a urine catch off back of wee wee pad first thing in am tomorrow and take it to vet. Do the first pee of the morning because it is urine that has been sitting in bladder all night long so it will be a good sample for lab. I prefer this over a needle in bladder even though that is a more sterile sample - It would be too hard for her to hold it until you get her in first thing for sterile sample plus i do not like the idea of needle in bladder personally my opinion on that
go to cvs ask pharmacist for sterile syringe and sterile bottle. Pick up urine then put in fridge immediately after to preserve. Then take to vet when the office opens.
I would have them do urinalysis and culture. It will be more expensive to do both but you will get more definite answers this way of what is going on and what antibiotics will work
Also if anymore discharge comes out put that in a separate container and put in fridge to preserve as well
all urine and fecal should be preserved in fridge that is what vets do too before sending to lab
