My dog shows pregnancy signs after silent heat. Is she pregnant?

Updated on September 23, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | unspayed | 10 months and 27 days old | 70 lbs

My dog had a silent heat a few weeks ago and we had no idea and took her to my moms house with an intact male, they were only on top of each other for a few seconds (maybe 10 sec) and it has been 20 days since that incident. My dog has been eating more, carrying around her bed and blanket, and her teats are slowly enlarging and producing a clear liquid when squeezed but she’s acting normal otherwise. Could she be pregnant? my vet doesn’t offer blood work and can’t do an ultrasound until day 40

From your description, it sounds like Vegas could be pregnant but I cannot say for sure without seeing her in person. You could check to see if there are other vets in your area that offer blood work to see if she is pregnant or not. Another option is to have her spayed. This will terminate any pregnancy and prevent her from ever getting pregnant again. I hope this helps.
