Shall I take her to a vets? Pet's info: Dog | Staffordshire Bull Terrier | Female | unspayed | 4 years and 11 months old | 70 lbs

I think she should be rechecked. It sounds like she had an open pyometra or uterine infection. While the discharge could still be normal it's also possible that she needs antibiotics for a bit longer. Sometimes the injections and antibiotics do not completely clear the infection and surgery is necessary.
