mak 0 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Is it common for a pregnant bitch to constantly drip a clear fluid four days before whelping? Has been doing so for two days,with two days to go. I've had no experiance of this before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOPPER 1,809 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 nothing to worry about mate but when she s whelped give her raspberrry leaf this will clean her out and pull the womb back into shape, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,173 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 When the bitch is in whelp the cervix is plugged by a blob of mucous to stop infection getting into the uterus. It is normal for some bitches to leak a bit of this throughout the pregnancy though many don't. A few days before whelping the mucous plug comes away so that is what you see leaking out: comes out as a clear jellyish stuff. Any discharge which is black, green, brown or any other colour except clear could mean a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks exactly like water and is constantly dripping with no let up for last couple of days. I've had no experience of this before. Has anyone experianced this,is it a problem?

skycat 6,173 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 What is her breeding? How old is she? Has she had a litter before? Is she very big, as in do you think there's a lot of pups inside? Is the bitch OK in herself? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
