Because she has just undergone major surgery and anybody would be a bit swollen. If it lasts more than a couple days you should ask a vet.
Actually, since the dog is not spayed at this time, they would simply abort/remove the puppies at the same time the dog is being spayed. It typically does not cost any more $$ than the cost of the surgery alone.
I suggest that your dog has been spayed. If your dog has been spayed she will not go into heat.
If the dog is not spayed then it is most likely certain the dog is in heat. This is stage one. In just a few days she will start to produce a red discharge, this is stage two. When the dog stops producing the discharge she is in stage three and is ready to mate. It is important not to mate a dog till her second heat!! It is detrimental to her health and her offspring.
Females are spayed Males are neutered
I just got my dog spayed (2 days ago, actually) and she is currently suffering from this problem. From what I've gathered, this can be caused by: 1) Stress or pain. She's probably very scared. 2) The anethesia wearing off, just after getting spayed. 3) A side-effect from pain medication (giving to you for home-dosage). I've given this to my dog every 8-12 hours since being spayed. 4) She could be cold; I wrapped my dog in a blanket on my lap, and after a while she stopped trembling. At two days, I would be concerned about infection if I saw shivering as this can be due to a temperature. Remember that a dog's normal temp is 100.5 - 102.5 Fahrenheit (38 - 39.2 C). Especially if it persists, see a vet, but always better safe that sorry.
call the vet
There are many reasons why your dog could have stomach swelling. Your dog could have a twisted stomach for example.
The teats should not be swelling at all after being spayed unless they were swollen before the surgery. You need to take your dog in to be checked out by your Veterinarian as soon as possible.

No.
then give her water!
To prevent unwanted puppies from being born.
Get it spayed. Spaying a dog means removing its eggs.
This is NOT normal, so get her back into the Veterinarian who spayed her or any Vet who can see her immediately. Do not put this off or you will have a dead dog.
No! Call the vet!
I had a dog who went through this, it was an accumulation of fluids. The surgery was properly poorly done, take her to the vet, she might have an infection as well.
I say this all the time, if it was your vulva swollen and bleeding, what would you do?
