So I have one dog that's a girl in her name is tiger and there's another dog in the house that's a guy and I noticed that my dog hasn't been in heat this month she was on heat last month and she kind of got a little bit big I pressed her nipples and this clear fluid came out I don't know if she's pregnant I'm just worried for her I don't know if she has anything wrong with her or if she is pregnant ?

Female dogs only go into heat once every six months, but if there was an intact male dog in your home when Tiger was in heat, she could be pregnant. You will have to take her into the vet to confirm if she is pregnant or not.
