Pregnancy doubt

Question
Hello,

We have a 1.5yr american bulldog female who's 3wks after her 1 cycle. All sudden i notice her teats are somewhat swollen and i'm wondering if it would be possible for her to be pregnant.I took outmost care to not let a male around her (she spent most of the cycle in her crate). Is the swelling a sig of pregnancy or (hopefully) part of her new adult body? is there a home way to find out if she is pregnant?

Thank you in advance.
John.

Answer
Hello John - Sometimes the nipples tend to swell.  The vaginal area will stay swollen for a few more weeks.  YOU can have the vet do a hormone blood test..
NO home tests that I know of....

Good Luck
