Since your dog was recently in heat and is now showing signs of illness I would recommend having her checked out by your veterinarian as soon as possible. She may be pregnant, having another false pregnancy, or may have a life-threatening infection in her uterus called pyometra. Hopefully she is fine but I would have her checked out to be on the safe side. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
