Answer
Hi Kat

If the vet took x-rays and was able to see skeletal structures of pups then the pups would have to be over 50 days.  Gestation is 63 so pups could come anytime.

Discharge is common in expecting dams but you want to make sure that the color is clear and not black or green. Both are a sign of complications.  Clear or slightly yellow is fine.

Pugs are known for complicated whelp, so you may want to keep your vet on stand by and be prepared.

Good luck.
