Answer
Laura,
nothing like grass should be coming out of your dog.  If she has a green discharge that could mean a dead/stuck  or decaying puppy.  Have you taken her temperature?  If she doesn't have something tonight then she should go to the vet ASAP for at least a check up. Her temp should be 98 degrees and then you should wait no longer than 24 hours for most breeds before getting her to a vet with a possible c-section.  some of the large headed dogs you only wait 3 hours.   If you have an emergency vet in your area, you should call them this eve and possibly take her in so you don't lose her IF she is in trouble.
