help please. there's a cream like discharge coming from my dog's vagina. I am very worried if it's a pyometra. She lost an appetite either eating nor drinking, the discharge doesn't have a smell. Also her appetite is slowly coming back. But she never stand, she's always asleep, she only stands when we wouls take her out to pee. Her last vomit was yesterday but as of now the only symptoms is being inactive and kinda loss of appetite ( which i think is slowly coming back) and the discharge. She doesn't have a fever and doesn't strain when peeing

Hello.  This sounds like a pyometra - they do sometimes happen in younger female dogs -  and even if not, vomiting and lethargy are red flags for dehydration, so it would be much safer if you took her to the vets as an emergency today.  If this is an open pyometra, your vet may decide not to operate immediately, but at least they can assess and treat for any toxaemia etc.   It could also be skin disease or vaginitis, which are much more local infections, but the more general signs of illness may still need to be addressed.

Your vet should be able to settle the question for you;  if it not obvious to them from the outside whether or not a pyometra is present, they might be able to settle the question with an ultrasound scan.
