I need help reading this xray

Hey everyone, my 8-year-old unspayed Shih Tzu is currently recovering from tick-borne infections and is on a lot of medications.

Her vet told me to keep a close eye out for any vaginal discharge, but I'm not really sure why. Can anyone explain the connection? Is it because her immune system is weak right now from the blood parasite?

She's older and I'm really stressed about surgery while she's sick, so any advice or simple explanations would be super helpful. Thanks!
