My dog has large nipples, is leaking milk and is eating a lot. Why?
From the description you have given in the question, it sounds as if your dog is pregnant. She is displaying signs of the advanced stages of pregnancy, i.e. About fifty days or so gone.

- At this stage, dogs have a good appetite but, at about 1-2 days before the start of labor, their appetite is lost, due to pain.
- False pregnancy and the high levels of hormones responsible for milk production can also cause milk production.
- Ideally, you should get advice from the vet, because delivery can be complicated.
- You should also keep a close eye on your pet during this time. It is likely that your dog will give birth in about two weeks' time.
