Why does my dog have lumps in her teats after weaning puppies?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | American Bully | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 5 months old | 50 lbs

My dog had puppies around 10 weeks ago and the puppies have been wheeled off of mom around 5 weeks ago. She has some weird lumps in a few of her teats but they are mostly all small. One in particular though us quite large and I'm not sure what it is exactly.

I would encourage you to have the momma dog examined by a vet in person. There are several potential problems Bailey may be suffering from, but there are also some benign causes by for what you are seeing. A physical exam should help shed light on which of these is most likely.
