| Is discharge normal in pregnancy? Maya is now 29 days into her pregnancy, and she's constantly licking herself down there. When I saw her this morning, it looked as though there was a clear discharge coming out. Now, this could have been from her licking it, but it didn't appear that way. Is this okay? Normal for a pregnant dog? |

| A clear mucus discharge is normal for a pregnant female. As she gets closer to delivery the discharge can get more noticeable. Keeping the hair on the vulva area trimmed short will help keep the area cleaner. Some females that carry big litters will get so fat that they cannot lick their vulva so with those moms it is sometimes necessary to keep the vulva clean with a damp washrag. |

| This clear mucus will begin the mucus plug on the female towards the end of her pregnancy. Like BJH said just keep her clean down there if she can't. My girl wasn't able to stay clean so I trimmed the hair down and now she is having a easier time getting it clean.
