What age is she?
Is she spayed? If not, she may be in heat. Also, she could have a bladder or urinary tract infection.

she is 7 her name is
she is 7 her name is shoshanna,she just came out of heat about 3 weeks ago.she pees just fine but this brownish discharge keeps comming out when she is just sitting around and it stinks .i am so worried about her.we are not going to be able to take her to the vet untill 9 am in the morning.i just want to help her now.i know she is not feeling well.
Are you certain it is coming
From her vaginal area and not her anal glands? If it is coming from her anal glands they will just need to be expressed. If it is vaginal, she probably has one of the two infections I mentioned. Either way it sounds like she needs to be seen. Keep an eye on her tonight, keep fluids in her, and try to get her to eat a bit of boiled chicken and rice if she isn't eating her normal food.

no its not coming from her
no its not coming from her anal glands.i just wish i could do something for her tonight to make her feel better.it just keeps flowing out.we tried a diaper but it just came out the sides after about 10 min.
Excessive bleeding...
That kind of flow is excessive, and I'd suggest she be seen immediately.
Good luck and all good wishes.
is she running a temp?
Could be an open pyometria, a little bit soon, but within range. Get her to the Vet as soon as you can - if it is pyo she can get really sick, really fast.
HOW is she this morning?
I hope you are on your way for a check up for her! Let us know the outcome.

hey guys here is the update
it was pyometra and we had to get her spayed . the vet said that is what we should do,to not have to worry that it won't hurt my baby in the future.My wife was devastated, she had hoped to breed her for one of her puppys before it was to late.but she (my wife) understood and just wanted her shoshanna back.we had shoshanna at the vets when they opened Thursday morning and we picked her up this morning at 9:00 am, and she was so happy to see us. The difference was like night and day,we could tell she felt much better.Thanks to you all for your concern and prayers.
