If ANY animal is discharging pink body fluid, it can be an indication of internal bleeding and should be seen by a veterinarian. There is a possibility that the dog swallowed something sharp that has caused internal damage to some extent.

What are the functions of the amnionic sac?
Amniotic fluid is a pale yellow fluid that serves to cushion the unborn baby from jolts and bumps. It provides a stable temperature and assists in maintaining a consistent body temperature for the unborn child. The fluid allows the baby to move freely and exercise growing muscles to develop a symmetrical musculoskeletal system. It allows for lung development as the baby begins to breathe amniotic fluid to strengthen his lungs and swallow fluid to develop the gastrointestinal tract. The kidneys develop as the baby urinates in the fluid.
What is the decrease in weight caused by the upward force of displaced fluid?
It is named after Archimedes of Syracuse, who first discovered this law. According to Archimedes' Principle, "any body fully or partially submerged in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced." When a body is fully immersed the weight of fluid displaced is equal to the volume of the body times the density of the fluid. So this amount will be the reduction in apparent weight of the body. If the body is floating, its apparent weight is reduced to zero, so the weight of fluid displaced must equal the weight of the body. In this case only part of the volume of the body needs to be immersed to displace its weight in fluid, because the body has a lower density than the fluid.
