i had two go through a false preg. each has kept their normal heat cycles. |
My Yorkie, who recently passed away, had a false pregnancy for her first heat, and continued with false ones every 8 months or so thereafter. I wonder if my own 3 misscariages had something to do with it (sympathy pains so to speak). Perhaps some of the breeders could verify this, but I was advised by the vet that false pregnancies usually mean that the dog will be unable to truly get pregnant, if she were ever bred. She was of show quality and had ch bloodlines, but I never tried to lift the non-breeding contract and breed her, as I knew that I would be unable to ever sell the pups ... I would have fallen in love with them all and wouldn't be able to part a single one. She eventually developed breast cancer when she was about 12, and fortunately survived after having surgery. She also came down with palmetra at around 16, and survived that too after having a hysterectomy! I will definitely have any new female spayed early this time, even though my lovely dog lived to be more than 20 years of age. I still miss her dearly. |

Not so, on the continued false pregnancies...I've had females that have had false pregnacies on their first Season and went on to have normal Seasons resulting in litters. The Spaying before their first Season is recommended to avoid the breast cancer...... I have read that continued seasons and false pregnacies may have a relationship to pyrometria |
Thanks so much for your sympathies. I've never cried so much since I was 2 years old, and I've gone through 2 marriages and many boyfriends during her lifetime. She was my one constant that supported me through everything. The tears are pouring down my face even now, 2 1/2 months after her death. The on-line chats and message boards only make me feel worse. ALL of the vets really advised that she be spayed because of those 2 reasons. I never got her spayed because I was ensuring that she was NEVER unsupervised around other dogs, even when not in heat. I thought that we don't normally "spay" humans, so why put her through the surgery. Was I ever wrong. I guess it must have just been a quirk of my own dog. Does allowing a dog to have a litter stop the false pregnancies? I'm only asking out of curiosity. |

I know what it is to lose a beloved pet...furkid......I lost my beloved terriepoo at 16 years of age....although, with her passing came my love for the Yorkshire Terrier. As stated above....I've had females that their first Season resulted in false pregnacy and went on to whelp successful litters...and never resulting in a false pregnacy when I've skipped a breeding. |
