Most girls that have had a heat cycle or have had litters will never have the tiny nipples that they once had. There nipples will be somewhat pronounced. If they've had a litter, they have been stretched by nursing. I have pets that have been spayed prior to their first heat.....flat as a pancake. Others that have had 3 or 4 litters, with pups being introduced to food early as 3 1/2 weeks....Even mom's that have had a litter and never nursing, or girls that have had a couple of heat cyles and have never had a litter.....their nipples are more prominent/pronounced. What can I say, Mother Nature & gravity.
It has nothing to do with how long pups have been allowed to nurse. Think about it, older women do not look the same as we did when we were 20, especially if we've had children.
