I agree. I would take her to the vet for an xray (to make sure no retained pup) and an oxytocin injection (to flush any retained placenta).
If she was eating and nursing fine this morning, you can wait till Monday.
If she is not eating, or appears sick/listless, I would take her immediately.
Good luck, and glad some of the material here helped :D

She is eating and nursing good and drinking water she has had 2 bowel movements and is peeing regularly!! Her discharge is starting to lighten in color she is still panting every now and then!! Yes your info was very helpful!! Can I give her some antibiotics while the pups r nursing?

To repeat what I said above, with brevity
I would take her to the vet for an xray (to make sure no retained pup) and an oxytocin injection (to flush any retained placenta).

Define "some antibiotics" ... there are many different kinds.
I would just take her to the vet. It's better to be safe then sorry. If you loose her most likely you'll lose the litter. Good luck
