I am assuming this is a vaginal discharge you are describing and not that the milk appears black. Nicole could be experiencing false pregnancy with uterine infection or be truly pregnant and having labor complications. Because of the latter possibility she needs to see a veterinarian soon because if there is a puppy stuck in the birth canal it can cause serious and fatal complications such as infection, hemorrhage and uterine tears.
