Vomiting and discharge are not normal symptoms of pregnancy in a dog and may indicate infection. I would not generally increase feeding guidelines until the last 2 weeks or if weight loss develops, the majority of energy demands for growth are the last 2 weeks of pregnancy and peak milk development. Obesity should be avoided as it can cause complications in itself
