Question
Ok, I think my boxer could be pregnant.Her vulva hasn't gone back in and her nipples aren't shrinking.At first we thought that she was just in heat but now were not sure. she is getting bigger by the ribcage and is clingy. could she be pregnant? or is this a false pregnancy?

Answer
Hi Natasha,
The only one who can answer that question is your local vet,yes dogs do have false pregnancies so your vet can do an ultrasound and should be able to give you the answer. Thanks for asking your question,
