Pregnant dog has reddish discharge and won't walk. Is it serious?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | unspayed | 5 years and 1 month old | 80 lbs

My dog is about 2 months pregnant or so and she has a reddish brown discharge and she won't really walk on one back leg. I don't know if her leg is related to her discharge or not. I'm just wondering.

Any discharge when pregnant is concerning and i would recommend a vet check as soon as possible to rule out infection or early labor/puppy loss. The lameness may or may not be related and should also be assessed, to minimise pain and discomfort.
