| False pregnancy without being bred???? I have a 1 year old female yorkie that just had her first heat back in April. She was not bred and now all of a sudden she has milk. Does this sound like a typical false pregnancy even though she was not bred? Any advice would be great! |

| Yes. My dachshund had two false pregnancies after she was spayed. She was never bred. Both times she would nest in my closet with some item of my clothes she would dig out of the dirty clothes basket. She would round up several of her small stuffed animals and treat them as her babies for a couple of weeks. She would look like she gained a little and get milk. We took her in to the vet the first time and it was just a false pregnancy. We let her tend her babies as long as she needed to. Eventually she would abandon the idea and come out of the closet.

| Awww that is sad for your dog I already had one of my girls go through a false pregnancy back in January so this is just making me go crazy seeing them both like this! I was already familiar with false pregnancies but I thought they had to be bred. This is all sooo strange. We will see if she gets the stuffed animals and drags them around lol. |

| Females do not have to be bred to have a false pregnancy. I have many of my females have false pregnancies after being in heat. |
