Hi, That could be a normal discharge after birth called lochia. It's usually green in color and clears in a few days. It's a way the uterus cleans itself out after birth. During birth, each puppy is born attached to its placenta which the mother bites open to let out the puppy and in most instances eats.

Usually there will be a dark green discharge from the vagina. This means the placenta has detached and the mother is ready to give birth. If the discharge appears and your dog has still not had puppies after a few hours, contact your vet for help.
