It's possible the discharge could be the beginning signs of labor, and keeping the area clean and free of hair and debris will help if she is going into labor. That said, if the discharge continues and she doesn't produce any puppies after a few hours, she seems in distress, or she is in labor for several hours/exhausted without any puppies it is best to seek veterinary care ASAP.
