And the lochia in humans is the vaginal discharge after delivery, at first it is red then a few days later it is pink and then sometimes brown.

We are talking apples and oranges here. I'm an x RN and believe me the 2 are completely different. The human anatomy and the canine anatomy are different, reproductive organs are different, birthing/whelping is different. Puppies are in the horn, humans are in the uterus...... Breech in human is different than in puppies. 45% of puppies are born hind legs 1st.....Breech is considered head up in a canine......
