Ok sorry have been down in the nursery and my signal today down there 
sucks...anyhow i think till tomorrow we are ok...i did panic this am after she 
came in from being outside to potty and we took her temp like always and she 
was a shocking 105.8. I have her sit for 10 mins thinking OMG cooling off 
..maybe to hot in the side pen today??? It was down only to 105.1, at that 
point i put her in the tub, please note she walked down normal to the salon and 
we picked her up and put her in...she wasnt happy of course, she wanted her 
puppies...i ran water all over her, bathed her rear cause it still had been 
yucky since last weeks delivery...thats when i noticed the discharge...her 
newspapers have been clean...but not her pantaloons and tail...so we got that 
clean...dried her to get the heavy moisture out...thats when i saw an excess of 
the discharge fall out of her and on the grooming table. Of course i ran my 
finger through it and then smelled it... No odor but a thicker 
consistancy...(washwd my hands) so then put her back with babies. Gave her 500 
ml of Amoxi, 1/4cc of pit, Fortiflora, more greek Yogurt in her food her meat, 
some kibble and mixed.  She ate it all...drank water normally, shes a bitch 
that stands in her water bucket even in the winter...and the rest of the day 
has been good and normal...so ??? 
Needless to say thank you for everyones input and ideas...i am only waiting for 
tomorrow cause the repro guy will be in and will see us, if she didnt continue 
to act totally normal we would of gone to the ER of course. 
My problem with ER vets is from past experiences, usually thy are clueless, 
know less than most of you and refer to "the book" for some answers. When all 
else fails they want to spay em.  If her life depended on it of course I would 
do it...but i dont believe that is the case here...
Thanks again,
Donna
