Patterdale Bitch

[Beastmaster1980 40]

My Patterdale bitch had her first season/heat cycle about 2 months ago, everything went as normal (enlarged vulva, nipples etc) but her nipples still seem a bit swollen, especially the ones closest to her back end. Is this just her going through puberty & hormones settling down or could it be something else? She seems fine in herself, weight, appetite & really active, noticed she is trying to eat grass sometimes dont know weather this means anything, has been wormed etc. Any replies would be appreciated. Thanks, Rich

is there any way a dog may have lined her?? if not she could be havin a phantom litter.

my uncle has a staff that goes through a phantom every season, does evrything apart from having the pups

Definitely not been near another dog so 100% not pregnant. Does the staffy return back to normal after phantom pregnancy? Is been 2 months since she came out of season, would have thought she'd be back to normal by now even if she had had a phantom pregnancy? Cheers, Rich

Nice one mate, like i say she seems fine in herself, was just a bit concerned as its the first bitch ive had & wasnt too sure, im sure they will settle down soon. Cheers, Rich
