Early Pregnancy Issues...is she OK?

[Sophiesmom]

OK, guys....here is my question. I am wondering if anyone out there could tell me if this is normal or if I'm just being paranoid. My girl, Sophie, was bred 2 weeks ago. So, I'm not for sure if she is actually pregnant because it is too early, but her demeanor changed as soon as I brought her home. She is sleeping all the time, not eating very well, and has thrown up a few times (clear liquid). Does this sound normal to ya'll? Also, I am concerned because I have noticed a little bit of clear/milky discharge every now and then and I was wondering if this might just be the tail end of her heat or if I should be concerned about pyometra? I am scheduled to take her to the vet in 2 weeks to be palpatated, but I'm wondering if she needs to be checked out before that. Anyone with suggestions or previous experience with this? This will be my first litter. Thanks ya'll!

I would advise taking her to the vet. If your not sure, better safe than sorry

A milky discharge could be so many things. I would suggest you take her to the vet also, better to be safe.
