SHE  FOR THE  PAST COUPLE OF  DAYS HAS  HAD  CLEAR  MUCUS IN HER PEN  NOT  MUCH   BUT  ABOUT THE SIZE OF  A  DIME , OR A  BIT  SMALLER .IS THIS  NORMAL  SHE  IS  HAVING A  X-RAY  IN  TWO DAYS TO  SEE HOW MANY PUPPIES  SHE  HAS.

Answer
Some dogs have this thin, clear discharge. It's usually normal. As long as it's not a thick gunky, sticky, clearish blob. And a lot of it. That's the mucus plug, they loose that about 24-48 hours before labor. When she goes to the vet in a few days, just mention it to the doctor. It sounds like a normal pregnant discharge though.
