This is not normal, and Asuna has to see a vet immediately. This discharge can be a sign of a complication in her pregnancy, and she needs veterinary attention right away. Please take her into an ER vet; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Leaving this without veterinary treatment can be fatal to both her and her puppies. I hope this helps!
