Seeking advice on dog whos just weened her pups I have adopted a 7 year old (as some of you may know) who was used as a breeder. I have no knowledge of dog behavior and such after giving birth and weening puppies. She still has swollen boobies and the 2 on the backmost near her 'girly parts' are full like they still have milk, though has gone down a little bit. She goes into these fits of itching or licking I can't tell exactly, it looks like she's irritated at her 'girl parts'? It doesn't happen a lot just 1 or 2 times a day, usually at night but I guess now I notice it's not 'just' at night. I had another thread called 'night itches' but I decided to make a new one with new information since I am starting to think it's related to her body changes or whatever from having puppies, and was suggested I might seek advice on people experience with breeding yorkies. Does this sound familiar to anyone whos experienced on breeding yorkies? And also could give more advice on what to expect, if anything? |
Is there not anyone with any idea? It's really strange what she does. Maybe this could be moved to the breeder forum? I wasn't sure which one to post it in. |
Has she been checked by a vet? Do you know how old the pups were when she was taken away from them? It sound like she was taken away from her pups way to soon. If she is still producing a lot of milk the she could even be at risk of eclampsia and/or mastitis. I suggest you get her to a vet as soon as possible. Some females have a vaginal discharge for up to 8 weeks or so after they have had pups and she could be licking to keep herself clean. Have you given her a good bath? She should allow you to examine her closely. Does her coat and skin look okay? |
