female lab just out of heat...

Question
I am having some of the same questions that I am reading about my female having really swollen teats. they are hard and seem to have dropped almost as though she were pregnant. the only male dog she has been around is my male lab who is 4 months old. could it be possible that she is pregnant from him? or is this the false pregnant thing that i am reading about? thank you so much.

Answer
Hi. I seriously doubt that your boy, at 4 months old, could sire a litter. If she started to sell up right after her heat, then I would suspect a false pregnancy. Keep an eye on her breasts, and if she gets too uncomfortable, take her to the vet. Good luck.
