My 2yr old frmale dog became inactive whish is not usual because she's a very sweet and playful dog who loves to kiss. Her eyes is sometimes reddish and has discharge. Smelly bloody mucus is coming out of her genitals..I think she's having a miscarriage..She still eats though she doesn't finish it all and drinks water..

Hello, Tisay may be having an infection of her uterus (pyometra). She should be seen by a veterinarian today and may require surgery and medications to remove her uterus. A miscarriage typically does not cause bad smelling discharge although it can, but a pyometra may be far more common to cause the clinical signs your are seeing. Best of luck and hope this helps.
