Question:

: Our dog was in season three monthes ago, we have not bred her and she is not pregnant. Over the last three days her breasts have gotten large, there is liquid coming from some of them and she is whining a lot, she is also making nests in funny places. She turned a year old in February, she has been in season twice. What is wrong with her?

: Thank-you

Sounds like a false pregnancy. This will be a miserable time for her. I hope you'll consider spaying her. Go see your vet to be on the safe side, and make sure it's not something more serious. If it is a false pregnancy, ask what you can do to make her more comfortable.
