Just be aware that it is NOT OKAY in a lot of cases. let me tell you my green fluid story. My bitch went into labor at 59 days. The first sign was her having a whole bed full of green liquid. Like when water breaks only it was a dark green. No lochia was present. I knew something was wrong already, I changed her bedding, same thing again. Lots of it. Then she started vomiting huge amounts of the same bile colored liquid. i rushed her to the vet about half an hour after all this. One puppy, the one in front was already dead. mom almost died. had a c-section to save the other puppy and of course mom was spayed. so before you consider all green as normal, make sure you know what you are looking at.
Now that would get the heart pumping right off the bat.
Green before a first pup is usually NOT okay.I have a little story also.
Female started labor all was normal presented a sack kept pushing no pup,then she was pushing on her back! I knew something was not right for I have never seen them push in that position,called the vet took her over and all contractions stopped,a shot of oxy was given and contractions resumed he checked her and could feel nothing then out popped another sack,he said what the .... checked her again and out popped ANOTHER sack.Then a bunch of green fluid.(my heart sank for I knew it would not be good).
He knew she needed a section then and fast before we lost them.We ended up with 6 pups(x-ray showed 5) all were okay we could not belive it.The last pup was sideways in the horn something he had not seen before ,that first pup blocked the train for the rest.We thought for sure we were going to loose a pup or more with all that green fluid but was very lucky.Everyone was okay 4 girls and 2 boys and momma did wonderful. Having pups can be very nerve racking at times. |
