| Swollen teats Bella had her first heat a couple of weeks ago. It lasted a little over 2 weeks. She is now 11 months old. She was never out of the house alone and there is no way she could be pregnant. However, the tissue around her teats are swollen like little breasts. The swollen area is about the size of a nickle on each one. Is this normal? There is no discharge and the tissue is quite firm! Thanks for any info! |

| false pregnancy Sounds like she is having a false pregnancy. You might put warm compresses on her teats if they are hurting her. But, if unsure, take her to the vet. Lynn |

Peeka Boo I See You! Donating Member | So is this a bad thing? Is a false pregnancy harmful to them in anyway?And what could the vet do or what would they check for?

| I just did a little reading about it. Bella doesnt seem to be acting any differently when I rub her belly. The article stated if she were having a FP then any tactile stimulation should be avoided or it could bring milk!!! I am calling the vet next week to schedule her surgery. If she is in FP the article stated spaying a dog during a FP would actually delay it from resolving. It also indicated that most dont need treatment. But, I guess the vet will have some answers! |

| teets This is very normal...a small lump under each nipple is not cause for much concern following a cycle...some even have a bit of milky discharge...it should end in a week or so, but if she continues, then I would check with the vet to ease your concern..Kate had this a few months back after her season, but in a week she was back to normal size...any swelling that enlarges the entire breast is cause for treatment. |

| Not really, the only thing my vet recommended was antibiotics to prevent bacteria entering.....but, then I wasn't planning to spay.
