Topic Dog Boards / Breeding / Mated dog licking herself

Hi
This maybe very normal as I guess I'm watching out for more signs.
My bitch was mated for the 1st time two weeks ago today, then again 4 days later.
The last day she has been licking her vulva alot, would this be fairly normal?
Also today she dribbled a tiny bit of urine on the sofa.

She is constantly hungry atm and also seems a bit grumpy.

Please say I'm just being a over paranoid mom and that she is fine!

Edited to add, I will 100% take her to the vets and get her urine tested, I just wanted to check if maybe this is quite normal after mating? As I don't want her put on anything unnecessarily

It's NOT something I've seen in our pregnant bitches, the vulva licking, or leaking.    And mine weren't significantly more hungry that soon after being mated either, or 'grumpy'.    I'm wondering whether she has Pyometra which would (if you are 'lucky' because some pyos are closed so you don't see any discharge and miss what's going on immediately) mean a trip to the vet, for sure.   Each bitch is different, even their pregnancies can be different however.   Best advice - see your vet, and take a sample of her urine with you.  Fresh.

ps.   Even if she seems to be hungry, do not up her food at this point.   Getting fat through a pregnancy isn't any more good for her, as for us!   Once she has puppies on the ground, and you SEE the number she has to feed then you may need to up her food.   Again the puppies will take what they need from her before birth.   So don't let her get fat!!

Great Thank you

We haven't had any discharge or anything majorly concerning. She just seems very interested in her back end, maybe she always is post season but I haven't took as much notice before. I'll defo get a urine sample to the vet tmrw morning.
100% she won't be getting fat! She is a lean working dog so impossible to get a lot of weight on her anyway

I've seen this with mine - I always put it down to a bit of vaginal discomfort after mating, making weeing sting a bit. They've all gone on to have good litters.

I'm really pleased to read this! She was a maden bitch so guessing was a bit uncomfortable.
Her vulva is still quite enlarged so guessing it's all feeling a bit odd down there.
I'll defo still get a urine sample done :)

> Her vulva is still quite enlarged


I tended to take that as a good indication that there is a pregnancy, with mine.
