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.

Unfortunately, these are very general symptoms having multiple causes. A physical exam would be needed to diagnose the underlying cause. If she is feverish or painful, have her seen at the nearest veterinary ER tonight. Given her age, a pyometra (uterine infection) is unlikely, but should be ruled out anyway since it can become an emergency. You can try warming her food slightly or mixing in a teaspoon of baby food to stimulate the appetite. If she is behaving normally otherwise, you may be able to have her seen by your veterinarian in the morning.

This does sound like it may be a pyometra if she is not spayed. She needs to see a vet ASAP as this is a life threatening infection. Do not wait until Tuesday she should go to an emergency vet tonight.

This is a medical emergency and Jessi needs to see a vet now. She could be suffering from a pyometra, which is a life threatening infection of the uterus. It is fatal without treatment, and she has to see a vet now. The vet can diagnose if she does have a pyometra; should she have one, spaying her is part of the recommended treatment.
