Is it normal for my dog to still have milk if she gave birth to her dogs a year ago in November. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 35 lbs

It sounds like Beauty may be dealing with a pregnancy, false pregnancy, or a mammary infection, as it is unlikely she would still be producing milk after this long otherwise. Please visit the following link for more information: https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952188 I also recommend talking to your vet about having Beauty spayed. Spaying stops the heat cycle, eliminates the risk and cost of unwanted breeding, and early spaying can reduce the risk of uterine and ovarian cancer, as well as reduce the risk of potentially fatal uterine infections and mammary cancer. If this is a false pregnancy, your vet will discuss the right time to have Beauty spayed to help prevent it from continuing/ happening again.
