My bitch did a little dark color spotting at about that time. The vet did some
lab work on the discharge and found no problem. It went away. He did not
prescribe antibiotics. She is four weeks in whelp now, and there has been no
further discharge. He thought it was probably some residual from being in
season.
With her mother's first litter, I got a real scare! About 2 weeks from the
delivery date, she passed about half a cup of stuff the color of dried blood.
I rushed her to the emergency vet. He wanted to abort the litter and spay her
immediately. He said I would lose both her and the litter if I did not consent
to that immediately. I told him I didn't think so and took her home instead.
She whelped five healthy puppies, including my first home-bred champion two
weeks later! There was a dead puppy that had been dead for awhile. My regular
vet thinks the discharge happened when that puppy died.
In all fairness to the emergency vet, there are conditions that would have
warranted his diagnosis. I'm glad I went with my intuition, though!
Good luck! Let us know how it turns out. It's certainly not something I would
ignore, but it might not be a worse-case-scenario either!

I am currently waiting for a call back from my vet office. But Yesterday I
found that my girl has some spotting. Yesterday was 3 weeks to the day of
her first breeding. It is dark in color, not bright red.
Her Grandmother did some spotting and she was put on antibiotics and all was
fine. I think she did this for 2 out of the 3 pregnancy's she had. This was
years ago and I don't remember what the vet thought it could be or the
details.
I had a friend mention implantation spotting, since it was 3 weeks to the
day. I know humans can have that . Is it common for bitches to have it?
As I said I am waiting for the the call back, but wanted to get some
opinions here.
Private replies are fine.
Thanks from a worried Mom,
Linda DeLarso
