Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I’m sorry to hear Lady is feeling sick. Are you sure she is pregnant? If she recently had a heat cycle and is now acting sick with vaginal discharge, i would be concerned that she may have a pyometra, or uterine infection. If she is pregnant but isn’t acting like she feels well I would recommend she be evaluated to ensure that everything is going ok with her pregnancy. I would recommend she be seen by her regular veterinarian, have any necessary testing done (X-rays, ultrasound, bloodwork to check for infection) and start on any treatment if she needs it. Good luck!
