I would recommend having her seen by your veterinarian. She may have experienced a pseudopregnancy where the hormones mimic pregnancy and can lead to milk production. Some small breed dogs have just one puppy at a time so it is also possible her belly just isn't that big - your veterinarian might recommend an x-ray or ultrasound to check and see if she is pregnant.
