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

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | 1 year and 8 months old

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.
