Thank you for submitting your question regarding Angel. The color and amount of discharge can vary throughout a dog's heat cycle. It can vary from pink to red to brown. Creamy discharge that appears like pus would be worrisome as it can represent a uterine infection. In this case, she would need to see her veterinarian right away. I hope this information helps!
