This can be a normal discharge. She will start to nest, not eat as much and have some milk from her nipples when she is about to give birth. Most dogs don't have trouble having puppies but it's best to keep a close eye on her with allowing her privacy in a quiet area. Good luck with the puppies.

    This could be Willow Dawn's mucus plug if she is towards the end of her pregnancy. This can be a normal discharge, and as long as there is no blood, it's not green in color, or does not smell, this likely isn't a worry.
