I am certainly not as qualified to speak on this subject as those people who have bred for years. After a puppy is born the placenta separates and is delivered so it would make sense that there could be a small amount of green discharge after the first puppy. Whether that discharge could be indicative of a problem, I do not know. It seems to me that it could be a problem, however, I would like to know if every litter has green discharge. I myself do trust the authoritative journals written by and for small animal veterinarians, after all that is what they go to school for so many years to learn. Many vets do not retain all that information unless they breed themselves so experienced breeders do have a wealth of information which can be a great help. I was just trying to share what I thought was good information.
