Hi Guest
Some dogs do go over time as humans do, the gluyish liquid you write about is the plug which breaks down befor ethe pups are born so it's quite normal, she will probably go through a few days of panting and scratching around and then become more quiet and sleep, this is usually a good sign that pups will be born in the next 24 hours.Take her temperature if it drops to 98 labor should start within 24 hours ( another sign).
Edited..I pressed the wrong button.
I would take her to the vets just for a quick check, just to be on the safe side, but explain that she is heavily pregant and they may ask you to come at a more quiet time or even via a back door so that she's not subjected to ther dogs or any bugs flying around the surgery.
