Thank u so much.. it helps me to keep calm. Actually the bruises around the nipple of my doggo are gone😊Welcome to Poodle Forum!
Peggy's nipples got more prominent (and stayed more prominent) but she did not show any bruising.
Here's another thread on this topic, though, which suggests bruising isn't uncommon:

First heat, very bruised nipples?
I'm not sure exactly when her heat started, maybe 2 weeks ago? (her vulva is still swollen but no longer bleeding). Today I was holding her and I noticed her bottom nipples look very bruised (and like there's swelling underneath the skin). I heard "bruising" is normal but can't find any pictures...www.poodleforum.com
thank you for the question. My little Mattie is now about 1 week out of her first heat and I just noticed darker coloration/ bruising around her 2 bottom breast areas. It freaked me out. How long did it take for your dog’s color to go away?Thank u so much.. it helps me to keep calm. Actually the bruises around the nipple of my doggo are gone😊
