she could have had what is called a 'split' heat. If she did indeed come into again and was bred this last time, she would not be showing signs yet. it is normal for the teats to swell during heat. Last, NEVER count on bellybands as birth control. I know from personal experience, they do not work. I caught my male yorkie trying to mount one of my girls with his belly band on and his pee pee sticking up over the top. he would have bred her had i not been right there to grab him up.

I really feel they could not have tied as I have been keeping an eagle eye.I feel better now that it is just a heat cycle but if her first heat was in feb. and because she was around him and came into heat early well then when can I count the next heat from the first heat or second heat that was early??? and does a dog's teats hang or stick out after having only one litter.I don't want to breed and I don't want the teats to stick out so how does it come to be that way, going into heat or after the first litter??????they are out now and I want to make sure the go all the way back in.
