Question
Hi there im wondering if you can help me my yorkie has been losing a brown discharge for 3days now she has been staying
in her bed she hasn't eaten anything for two and half days.
I've given her lactol milk which she has been drinking and she seems bright her due date is 21th September is there anything i should be worried about could she be losing her pups ?and is the brown discharge from her vulva normal could you please help put my mind at rest thanks

Answer
I would definitely take her to the vet immediately. She may be experiencing pyometra, a serious infection of the uterus. Does it look like tomato soup? Any colored discharge before the birth of the first puppy is a bad sign. I'm sorry I can't put your mind at ease, but get her to the vet very soon.
