My 8 month old puppy has a swollen vagina and nipples. Ive never had a dog so i dont know what is happening. Is she in heat?

With that degree of swelling she is very much in heat and must be kept isolated from all other dogs (if she has been out in the last few weeks it is possible she may have been mated already). I would contact your vet to discuss options if you do not want pups and there is any possibility she may have been mated
