Any of the above that you listed are possible causes for white discharge from the vagina. If there is small amounts and it is not particularly thick, it is unlikely that there is an infection. More likely that it is an indicator of the time in the estrous cycle or an indicator of early pregnancy. If she begins to become symptomatically ill at any point, have her examined by your veterinarian. Hope this helps.
