My dog just discharged a brown looking fluid and is bleeding from her vagina, does this mean she is going to give birth soon? I uploaded pictures.

Yes, sugar will start having contractions and straining very soon. If she is panting, but no straining after another 2hrs you must take her to your vet for an exam and they might give her oxytocin. The dark brown/ green discharge is from the placenta.

This is highly abnormal, you need to take her to the vet urgently otherwise you will lose the puppies for sure and might also lose her. She is too old to be pregnant, you should have her spayed after this pregnancy or during the c-section which I suspect she will need.

Unfortunately, it is too early to confirm pregnancy. You will need to wait another two weeks before your veterinarian can confirm a successful mating via blood test, palpation or abdominal x-ray/ultrasound. Monitor for lethargy, fever, straining to urinate, heavier discharge or bloody discharge. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian.
