YT Addict | False Pregnancy Went to visit the vet today with Ellie thinking she was having anal gland problems again and it turns out she is going through false pregnancy! We are waiting three weeks to get all hormones straightened out and then she will be getting spayed. Any suggestions to ale her a little more comfortable will be appreciated! I have heard of false pregnancies but I have no experience with them so I am a newbie on this subject.

| I've never heard of this, but thought I'd chime in to say that I'm sure others on here will share their expertise. All the best! |

| There is really nothing you can do except wait it out. A dog's body basically acts as if pregnant after a heat cycle whether it is or not. Some dogs experience such strong hormones that they actually appear pregnant..gaining weight and even producing milk. Symptoms can last as long as two months.

| The only recommendation I have is to watch for any discharge from the vulva. Also if she starts to act lethargic or runs a fever, she could have a uterine infection. Finally, if she does start to produce milk, you want to make sure the breasts don't get swollen, red and painful.

| Yes should dry up eventually. I had one produce a little milk but it didnt last long. Just make sure the breasts don't get swollen and red.
