Hello!
After daily vaginal lavages, we have had a mouse who appears to have been in estrus for three days in a row based off of cytology and the presence of only cornfield epithelial cells. The samples typically dry clear, but as you can see in the photo this one dried very white. Also, yesterday both of her samples washed off the slide after ample drying time and our standard 1% toluidine blue staining protocol.
Any idea what might be happening to this mouse in terms of her cycle?
Thank you in advance!

You need to show us the microscopic aspect of the sample. The gross sample is not enough. This could be purulent material as well.

it must be diluted or spread in order to be visualized well under microscope because it looks thick
