My pregnant dog is bleeding and has brown discharge. What should I do?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | unspayed | 6 years and 5 months old | 60 lbs

My bitch is on her 64th day of pregnancy and she has been letting out a clear discharge which I know is normal. However, last night she was letting out a brown coloured discharge follow by blood. I'm very worried. Is this normal?

This is highly abnormal, you need to take her to the vet urgently otherwise you will lose the puppies for sure and might also lose her. She is too old to be pregnant, you should have her spayed after this pregnancy or during the c-section which I suspect she will need.
