Question
My girl is in the last few days of pregnancy and is leaking milk, but is has a light green tint to it, is this normal?

Answer
Hi Joni:

I would have your vet check into this ASAP. Normally the milk produced just before whelping has no color to it except for the usual milky-white. It may be nothing to be overly-concerned about (possibly the lighting is giving it the light greenish tint) but could also be the beginnings of an infection of some kind which, of course, can impact the health of the litter tremendously. Please let me know what your vet concludes.
