Females don't normally start showing signs that soon after going out of heat. Was this her first heat? How old is she. Generally with a false pregnancy their teats will get larger and they can get milk. It also changes their personality for about 63 days. One of the main things to watch for after a female has been in heat is pyometra. Pyometa usually effects older females but young one can get it to. Pyometra is an infection of the uterus and it is deadly if left untreated. If your female starts acting sick or losing weight then she should be seen by a vet.
