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.
