That could be completely normal as some of the birth remnants could be still inside. If the discharge persists more than 48hours and you notice systemic signs like lethargy or inappetence, a check up is needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
