I would think she has had more than enough milk for one puppy at a time. Is that a factor? I have attached a photo of her with Skeeter (She is his and Adie's mother.) Skeeter is only a few days old in the photo and it looks like she has plenty to feed him! (I know, Skeeter was/is a moose.) I will as the vet about it when I take her in on Monday. |
From the pictures she looks perfectly normal. I have seen females with huge, black, gross looking nipples. Has Gracie had a heat cycle lately? If she had then that might be why they are a little big. Most all females will get puffy teats for a couple of months after a heat cycle. Some females will just have bigger boobs than others. Kinda like us girls.
