pregnant dog I think

Question
our lab had a litter of pups in june of 2008. we had her fixed on december 19th. She looks pregnant again. her nipples are very pronounced. She isn't as active as she usually is. Could this be possible?

Answer
Hi Amber.  No, it is not possible for a female dog that has been spayed to produce a litter of puppies. For more information on what actually takes place during a spay, I have a website address that you might be interested in as follows:

You female might be having some hormone level issues that your vet can assist you with.

Good luck and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions.
