Delilah is too young to be going into heat, so this discharge could be caused by juvenile vaginitis. This is inflammation of the vagina in puppies who have not yet reach puberty. I would have Delilah seen by a vet first thing tomorrow for this. The vet can examine her, determine if she does have juvenile vaginitis, and can prescribe a treatment for it. Typically, it involves daily cleaning of the vulva if it is a mild case with no complicating infection.
