Hello, if you are sure that she was not bred and she has not gotten and bigger in the belly or gained any weight like a pregnant bitch would then she is most likely having a false pregnancy. This can happen in all breeds of dogs and at all ages. It is typically just like a pregnancy for them and they will act the exact same way as they would if there were pregnant. They can even get milk or start to develop colostrum as well. The symptoms will pass on their own but you can speed up the process by not letting her do her nesting thing and by giving her more time away form the area she feels she needs to protect as her own. Treat her like a normal dog that is not pregnant and that should help the hormones start to subside and she should go back to normal pretty soon. If you are not positive that she did not get bred then you may want to have an x-ray done by your vet to make sure she is not prego.I hope this will help but let me know if you need anything else.
