Liquid Squirting Out Anus ... Bullmastiff Please Help

I have a 16-month-old male, neutered bullmastiff. We were at the park tonight and he got scared of someone walking in who was dressed in black with a black hooded sweatshirt on.

He stood and started barking ... as soon as he did this, his tail raised and clear liquid squired out of his anus. At first I couldn't believe what I was seeing, then several others at the park saw this too.

When he was done barking, he sat down and when he stood up again, there was a puddle of this liquid.

It did not smell. It was of a water consistency. I have NEVER seen that happen before and am stumped as to what it might have been.

Any clues? I will consult with my vet in the morning. He is seemingly fine ... eating, drinking, solid stools, urinating without problem.

Thanks so much!!

It sounds like he expressed his anal glands...this is my guess, I'm not certain. You should talk to your vet and rule out any medical conditions. However, some dogs do express their anal glands when stressed or nervous. Though the expressed material is usually colored (brownish to yellowish) and smells not so pleasant.
