What is wrong with my dog?

She has had puppies, and she weaned them, but she has these knots where her milk has dried up, should I be worried or will they go away on their own?

try some warm/hot compresses.  is she eating OK?  does she have a temp?  those are 2 red flags and I have never seen the hard "lumps" except in a case of mastitis but the dog was off her food and had a temp.

good luck

It could be like Jaybay [ comment 1 said] or something criticle. You could take her to the vet if it makes you feel better

Are you talking about her nipples?  If so, it's entirely normal for them to be bigger after giving birth and nursing a litter of pups.
