Hello, I have a pomerian cross dog of 12 years.. white colour female.. she is 19kgs and obese for her height.. she has been not eating and spitting white and transparent mucous for 1 week now. Her menstruation happened in last month but it started again yesterday. Her stomach is hard and I think she is bloated and also a pus type of cream discharge is coming from her vagina.. what are these symptoms and what I can I do about them

The pus discharge indicates a pyometra, which is an infection of the uterus as I explained in your last post. This is a medical emergency, a pyometra will kill Freedo if left untreated, and this cannot be treated at home. You have to take her into a vet now, there is no other option.
