Biliverdin Explained
Dr. Victor Stora, a resident at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine clarified what was happening to the puppy. He said the dog isn't in any danger and the biliverdin wouldn't affect her long term. Dr. Sotra explained that blood escapes the placenta, which is broken down in the uterus to become the green dye. If the dye infects an amniotic sac, the puppy will come out green!
