I just noticed that my 13 month old rotty/black lab's nipples are swelling up and they look like they are holding milk, they are sagging a little. Her stomach is a little harder than normal. She hasent went in heat yet. Could she be pregnant?

Hi Shawna F!
If your the female accepting the male dog. Most likely, yes, she is pregnant.
Confirming pregnancy necessitates a trip to the veterinary office. The earliest method of pregnancy detection is ultrasound -- a nice test because it is noninvasive and very reliable. Fetal heartbeats can be detected at around the 25th day from first breeding.
Most experienced veterinarians can determine pregnancy by simply feeling the dog's abdomen during a certain a window of time -- about 20-30 days after conception. During this time period, there is uterine swelling around the placental sites that feels like firm and discrete lumps.
A third way to detect pregnancy is by taking x-rays. Fetal skeletons can be visualized at about 45 days of pregnancy.

- Pregnancy Facts And Information, but it may be also canine false pregnansy, (the hormonal fluctuations of the cycle) a dog body essentially thinks female is pregnant. All the hormones are present; only the puppies are missing. Please look article:http://www.askedweb.com/askedweb/Canine_False_Pregnancy/ - Canine_False_Pregnancy

Unless there is something wrong with her she should be coming up on her second heat!Most dogs come into heat around 6-8 months so if that is the case has she been exposed to a male dog ??If so she could very well be pregnant.?????Good Luck!!!

It is possible. Keep an eye on her stomach the next few days. See if you can feel lumps in her stomach. And I would take her to the vet to make sure.

im having the same thoughts about my dog. i would take her to the vet to find out for sure. they will more likely take x rays. it could also be a fatal condition so i would take her to the vet asap. if she hasn't had her first heat cycle she might be pregnant but she could also be very sick. please take her to the vet. watch for discharge and if there is any take her to the vet.

I've heard that dogs can get pregnant even if they are not in heat! Yes, it sounds like she's pregnant.
