Hello All!
My Sweet 10 month old baby Sony just finished her first heat. I haven't got her spayed yet because she had ringworm (boy that took forever to get rid of) and because of the antibiotics and anti-fungals she was on i had to wait. She came into heat before i could get it done.
This is the last heat she will ever have to go through! I have felt so sorry. During her heat all she wanted to do was sleep in her crate away from us and had a poor appetite. She was just totally different. A couple weeks before she even started bleeding she acted weird. Well, It has been a month, a week, and 5 days since the point when she started bleeding. She has been done bleeding for a few weeks now but her mammory glands are still quite swollen and she is still uninterested in things. She has never been a terribly hyper girl, especially for a yorkie, but she is just especially not now. If i take her outside she will pull on a leash and wanna chase things some and will run a little while off a leash. But when we are inside all she wants to do is lay on us and sleep. Her appetite fluctuates. It has increased considerably though from the time when she started bleeding. She just wont play with her sister doggie stella. Used to on occasion she would get worked up and play. This distresses me.
I know she cant be pregnant because the only other baby i have is her spayed sister Stella (not that it would matter because she is a girl) and the only boy she has been around is my grandparent's neutered boy Mac. She was never in contact with any other males.
I guess what i am asking is: Is this a false pregnancy? I created an album entitled Swollen Sony and added three pictures so you guys can see exactly what is going on. The only signs so far are the swollen mammory glands (and her lower female parts are still kinda big)... and then the lack of energy and fluctuating appetite. She has very solid poo... and has a good color in her gums.... also, should i take her to the vet? and is there anything i can do to make things easier for her? I am worried about her all the time.
Thanks so much!!
