It's not uncommon to see a little cloudy vaginal discharge from growing puppies. It's likely the hormonal influences in her body. It usually doesn't require medication, and typically resolves on its own with no treatment, however I have seen some prolonged cases that did need antibiotics. If she just saw the vet today I would recommend calling her back and discussing this change - she may want to recheck Moose, especially if the discharge persists for more than a day or two.

    Green vulvar discharge can be a sign of puppy vaginitis or occasionally a urinary tract infection. Vaginitis is not usually an emergency and may not be responsive to antibiotics- often topical treatment and probiotics are recommended. If it is vaginitis it is probably okay to wait to see your vet when they open. A urinary tract infection would be an urgent problem and you should see an emergency veterinarian if Gambit is also urinating frequently or straining to urinate.
