I admit that I know nothing about breeding dogs but in humans a green fluid during labor and delivery is called meconium stained fluid and it means that the baby has had a bowl movement inside the mother (this is not supposed to happen). Meconium is the first stool and it is black tarry and it turns the amniotic fluid green. Ususally this happens because at some point the baby was in distress and lacking oxygen. It poses a threat if the baby inhales the meconium into the lungs. Could this green fluid in dogs be meconium too?
