My pregnant dog is panting, restless, and leaking fluid at 37 days?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 4 months old | 17 lbs

Hi! My pregnant dog is on her 37th day today and she started panting earlier and becoming a little bit restless(although she is already asleep as of writing). She’s also releasing some watery/clear fluid and is constantly licking her paws. She still ate her dinner and drank water but i’m worried if it has something to do with her pregnancy. I havent been to a vet since we’re on lockdown due to covid. I will really appreciate any insight on this. Thank you!

Hello. It is so difficult to advise you as to what to do. It is certainly too early for her to deliver, but she may also be losing the litter. I understand that these are challenging times, but most, if not all, veterinarians are still seeing patients. Please call your vet to see if they can check Yuki. An ultrasound of her abdomen will show if the puppies are still doing well, & this will be very good news. I hope all is well & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
