When should a pregnant chihuahuas nipples leak?

When along the timeline of my chihuahuas pregnancy should her nipples bleed?
She is supposed to have her babies in about three days, and isn't leaking.

They usually fill up about 2-3 days prior to whelping. They really don't leak, per se, but they can have milk expressed. Keep watching.

Sometimes milk sacks are not even noticeable. After the pups are born, you will see them. In small dogs they are not very big. Not like you would expect.

Sometimes their milk will come in a few weeks before giving birth and others milk may not come in until she is fully done giving birth. And she may never actually leak, but you may want to see if she does have milk in her. You can very lightly press on her nipple to see if any comes out. But I am sure she has milk since she is a small dog she prolly won't leak at all.. good luck with everything :)
