| Yorkie acting strange My yorkie is 6 years old.She has never had a litter.The last few days,she has been carrying around her squeaky dinosaur,whining the whole time.She cries to have it with her ALL the time,even when she goes to bed and even puts it under her as if she's nursing it! I dont know what to do for her.We're thinking of getting her a small breed puppy to 'take care of', and for companionship,( Im home 98% of the time,but thinking about another inside dog for her to have a friend besides our black lab,who ofcourse stays outside). I have never seen her act like this and wanted any advice/info anyone has. Thanks in advance! |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Is she spayed? If not it could be a false pregnancy.

| What can be done for a female dog experiencing a false pregnancy? Just to have her spayed? How long will te symtoms last?

Thor's Human Donating Member | I have heard of dogs carrying around toys and crying because they are looking for a good place to hide their treasure. I don't know anything about false pregnancy. Maybe she just really loves this toy? Is it a new one?

| Poor little thing. Did someone maybe tease her by taking her toy? She may think that they will take it away and keep it.

| This does sound like a false pregnancy. The female will become very nurturing and will be nesting. Sounds like that is what she is doing with her toy. LRod |

| I had a black lab growing up that did the same thing, I was too young to pay attention to when it stoped. Im shure you can ask the vet. |

| Yorkie 6yrs You should have her spayed as soon as possible, if female dogs don't have any litters, they can get a uterine infection. I know it happened to me and the vet says you have to have them spayed . I am surprised your vet didn't tell you that. |

| I have a 6 month old boy and he does the same thing with his tiger toy. He carries it around in his mouth crying and then goes and ruts in his blanket or bed and buries it under the covers. I think its just them having fun and hiding their toys!!! =) |

| No,he didn't tell me,but I just did some research about spaying and I read about what you're talking about. I will have her spayed within the next two weeks.As far as false pregnancy,I read their mammary glands swell,too.She's not doing that at all. So far,today,she's not missed the toy(it's still in my daughters' bed).I figured I'd leave it and see how she reacts.So far,she hasn't missed it and just seems to want me to love on her... |
