Thanks for the responses. We never saw any discharge. The vet just assumed the discoloration on her fur was from discharge, but we never saw any actually being excreted from her uterus.

I started giving my chinchilla LifeLine to see if that would help her issues, but it seemed to give her diarrhea, and the more I gave it to her the less she ate. I didn't expect this to happen, and was wondering if anyone else has experience issues with LifeLine?
