I am sorry for the late response to your question. Your dog is almost over of her 1st heat. Dogs after the heat and with or without mating can experience false pregnancy and the symptoms are the same as the real pregnancy. Here are some signs that your dog may be pregnant. The early signs are at three weeks after the mating she will lose her appetite. The vulva (it is the area around the vagina) will remain enlarge after mating. Nipples will change color and size at 5 weeks. Some behavioral changes can also be seen and sudden decrease of activity. You will also notice a clear vaginal discharge. After her heat you will notice some progressive sign like increase in appetite and weight gain. The best way to verify pregnancy is through a physical examination of a vet, pregnancy test and by ultrasound.Take care and good luck.
