Vet is not overly worried as she thinks they feel like fatty tissue. She asked me if Mia has ever been very thin and I said that she was when the rescue first got her and they had to feed her up. Vet said some dogs do accumulate fat in that area after being starved so it could be that.
She has asked me to keep an eye on it though as she is a little worried that Mia has been showing a lot signs of a partial spay and/or false pregnancy over the last few weeks. The timing of all the symptoms and behaviour point to tissue being left in and swelling of mammary tissue would happen about now if that is going on.
She said if it goes down or stays the same not to worry but if swelling continues to go back for blood tests.

She didnt have mastitis, although did keep an eye for it.



Im glad the vet didnt seem worried about them although obv concerned as you are about her perhaps having a partial spay.
