DOGS- nipples Swollen any other reason apart from pregnant?

Question

is there any other reason a dog would have swallen nipples apart from if she was pregnant?
there was another dog in my yard the other day and it appears that he slept over as he was in her bed, this was about 2 weeks ago.
bathed her yesterday and noticed her nipples was 2-3 times her normal size.
is there any thing at all that it could be other than pregnancy?
thanks :)

Answer 1

It could be a false pregnancy.. meaning her hormones are off and she thinks she's pregnant causing her nipples to swell. Here is a link for you. This use to happen to our dogs too, especially if they've played with other dogs etc. it causes them to want puppies.. kind of weird.. But here is a link for you that explains further.. http://www.thepetcenter.com/gen/fap.html

Answer 2

Apart from a pregnancy, it could be a lot of things: Some dogs with high hormone levels get very "swollen" when they're in heat; she may be having a false pregnancy; she may have the early symptoms of breast cancer... Take her to her vet and have her checked out to be sure.

Answer 3

It is too early to be showing signs of pregnancy if something happened. Their nipples do swell some while they are in heat so that is probably the cause.

Answer 4
