Why is my unspayed senior dog not eating, stiff, and has discharge?

Question

Hi my 11 yr old bitch has had me worried lately she hasn't been eating very much she will eat wet food but will not touch dried food at all and has little interest in any cooked food offered to her she also has discharge at her back end which I will attach photos to view the other thing that has me worried is the last few days she seems to have trouble with her back end and seems very stiff and slow with walking. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | unspayed | 10 years and 8 months old

From the photo, I can’t really appreciate any discharge. I recommend to have Molly examined by her veterinarian today. Older, female dogs who are not spayed who suddenly become sick could have a potentially fatal condition called a pyometra which is an infection in the uterus. Of course there are many things that can make pets sick just like humans. I recommend to play it safe and have her examined. Hopefully it’s nothing too serious.
