4 week old Springer female puppies with green/yellowish discharge

I have a Litter of 7 English Springer Spaniel puppies. All are healthy and gaining weight.

I noticed that 2 females have greenish yellow discharge from the vagina.

The mother did have 2 dead puppies and had a green/black discharge. What could be the cause of this.

Hi Lisa
It's possible that your puppies have a urinary tract infection, especially if you notice that they seem to be urinating more frequently than normal, or if they're constantly licking themselves.

Any discharge that is green in color needs to be checked out as it could signal infection. I would recommend taking these two pups to your vet so that he can make a diagnosis and begin treatment if it is necessary.

I doubt very much that the discharge you notice from the momma at the time of the stillbirths is in any way related to this, or similar in nature.

Best of luck with your puppies!
