Pet's info: Dog | English Bulldog | Female | unspayed | 90 lbs
My English bulldog is pregnant I’m not sure how far along but she is dropped. At 1 this morning she started panting and pacing and had a dark green discharge coming out but not a lot. She seems fine now and not pacing and panting and no more discharge but no puppies. What’s going on and what does it mean?

Oh goodness. Dark green discharge can absolutely indicate fetal distress. Bulldogs rarely have their puppies without c-section. This could be a life threatening situation for Angel and her puppies. Please have her seen by a veterinarian immediately. Be prepared for a recommendation for a c-section. Also be prepared that the puppies may have been under stress for several hours now and they may not be viable. Please don’t hesitate, this is an emergency. Best of luck and I hope she does well. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
