What does green discharge mean for my pregnant dog in labor?

Okay, so my babe Coco has had a temp ranging from 99.8-98.2 from yesterday until today. Currently temp is reading 99.2 . She is starting to have some discharge I have not noticed before, like a egg white mucous with a VERY light green tint to it. Are we getting close to seeing some pups? Wasn't sure if this discharge was part of labor or not. Also do he temp readings seem normal for signs of labor ? FYI I do not know exact due date. Depending on symptoms to guide me, and y'all of course, TIA!

I'm concerned about this color discharge. This can be a sign of premature separation of the placenta. Without seeing Coco in person, I cannot say if this is ok or not. I'd take her into a vet immediately.

Pepper needs to see a vet immediately, as this is a medical emergency. A green discharge isn't normal and can indicate that the placenta has separated before the puppy has been born. You need to take her into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see her now.

Hi there. Dark green discharge is a sign of placental detachment - so if you are seeing this but no puppies have been produced, I would consider this an emergency and take her to the vet immediately for evaluation. He/she can examine her and assess the situation more fully, but I would be concerned that an emergency C-section is likely needed.

Yes, I would be a bit concerned. I suggest you have your vet check her out to be on the safe side. In some cases, this discharge may indicate a separation of the placenta which would endanger the pup(s).
