It could be Elizabeth has a pyometra. This is an infection of the uterus that is fatal without treatment. She could also potentially have an infection of a mammary gland causing the brownish fluid from one nipple. This cannot be treated at home, and leaving her without treatment will be fatal. You have to rush her into a vet immediately.
