My pregnant dog has discharge and won't eat. Is labor coming?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 55 lbs

My dog is around 58 days pregnant and has had a lot of discharge for 5 days now. She also will only eat about one meal per day. Just now she left a puddle of clear discharge on my couch. Does this mean labor is coming soon?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Zoey. Yes, she is likely getting close to going into labor. Due dates can vary a fair amount. Monitor her for other signs such as pacing, panting, restlessness and nesting behavior. If you have any concerns, be sure to have her evaluated by her veterinarian. It is important to have x-rays taken to know how many puppies to expect. I hope this information helps!
