Hi there. When your dog has experienced heat cycles, their bodies will react differently from dog to dog. Much like puberty in humans, with the beginnings of such hormonal fluxes, breast enlargement as well as vulvar are common and may be permanent. Certain types of infections, called pyometras, are also a possibility-if your pup is lethargic, not eating or drinking, or has purulent discharge she should see a vet immediately.
