Hello, based on those images, her nipples are enlarged but there is no clear mammary gland development, therefore its difficult to say if she is pregnant or not. The best way to tell if she is pregnant, is to have her seen by her veterinarian for an x-ray or ultrasound. In regards to the discharge, it could be coming from her rectum or anal glands, or it could be coming from her reproductive tract or urinary tract. It is difficult to say if she discharge from any of these tract without a physical examination. At the time of her visit, please inform your veterinarian about this discharge so that they may look closely at these possible sources. Hope this helps and best of luck.
