I am sorry for the delay in answering your question. As dogs come into heat, initially a bloody discharge is seen. Then usually about 1-2 weeks later that discharge becomes more yellow in color, and that is when they are receptive to a male dog. They tend to accept the male for 1-2 weeks, and a yellowish discharge can be normal, though it should not be in very large amounts. So I don't think what you are describing is completely abnormal, especially if she is eating, isn't lethargic or acting sick.
