I measure out her RC every day, so I know she's not getting extra food, but she would, I'm sure eat anything she could get her teeth on.

Thanks!

Mollie's first heat cycle resulted in a false pregnancy. I took her to the vet and she told me there wasn't really anything to do but just let her hormones settle down and of course a few days after I took her that's exactly what happened. She also had the nipples that were a bit swollen and she did produce milk and she leaked some. Not sure how long it will last I'm sure each dog is different.
