This is suspicious for a possible ovarian cyst that could be continuing to produce hormones. If this does t resolve on its own in a few days then I would recommend that she be evaluated by a veterinarian. If you don’t plan to breed her then a spay would likely solve the problem. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
