Hello all,
New here. My husband and I have owned English Mastiffs for 14 years. Currently we are getting into the breeding process with our EM’s. Our female was in heat in early December. Our male and female had slip mating occur on the 26th and 28th of December (that we witnessed). Our female, Syren, had a bit of sickness on January 22nd-25th. Slowed down with her meals for a bit and picked back up the beginning of February. Since about the 5th of February her teats have swollen and enlarged. I took her to get a scan on the 10th of February and the vet said she is NOT pregnant. However her teats are still enlarging and now producing drops of milk/colostrum. It’s not all of her teats, just the four closest to her rear. She’s been very clingy also. Could this be a false pregnancy or a legit one? At times I feel like I’m grasping at straws because we are so excited to begin this journey. I just need some advice because I don’t want to go unprepared.
