My dog has a big stomach and enlarged breasts. Is she pregnant?

Question

My bitch is showing some signs of pregnancy such as enlarged breasts and stomach but nothing else My dog was neutered on the 20th of December she was supposed to be done as well but just came into heat By going by his neuter date she would be due this week I've not taken her to the vet yet as the stomach only appeared in the last 7 days I thought it was a false pregnancy but really unsure now.

It is quite possible she is in pup - males can be fertile for 4-6weeks after castration so if they were not separated, or other males would have had access to her when she was in heat she may well be in pregnant. I recommend you schedule an ultrasound exam with your vet to confirm pregnancy and guide appropriate management. You will need to arrange a separate area for her and pups away from other dogs for at least 6weeks if she is rearing pups
