My dog's nipples leaking yellow liquid after heat. Is she pregnant?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 2 months old | 10.5 lbs

My dogs nipples are starting to dry up and leak a clear yellowish liquid from them. She had her heat like 3 weeks ago. She mated with my male while we weren’t supervising them. What does this mean ?? Does this mean she is pregnant or is it a false pregnancy scare ?? Or is it something else ??

It may mean Pinkie didn't get pregnant when she mated with your male, or she could be pregnant or suffering a false pregnancy. Without seeing her in person, I can't say for certain. I'd take her into the vet in a couple of weeks to see if she is pregnant or not. Best of luck.
