Gloss-Hen Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) Hi our dog has just turned 6 months and last week she was spayed (we had to spay her as she was a rescue but would still done it if she wasn't as we have too many pets 19 at the last count) well we think she thinks she pregnant.she woke us up at 3.00 this morning and didnt stop till 4.00 this morning my mum is not happy with her we also took her to the V E T last night and the vet said it probably just a phantom pregnancy Does anybody know how long it will last? And is there anything we can do to help her relise she has no puppies? she has stopped wanting pups and is back to her crazy loopy self thank you to anyone who answered this post Edited November 14, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Aw bless her. My dog had the same, had quite severe pregnancy symptoms after speyed, including lactating! the vet was keen to leave it to settle on it's own, but in the end we did have to get some medication from them - can't remember it's name (prostop???) - to calm things down again. Talk to your vet if you are worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloss-Hen Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 We took dotty to the vet last night and she said if dotty starts producing milk then she will give us medication more vet bills for us £££ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Whatever you do don't touch her nipples or squeeze them to see if there is any milk there as it will stimulate her to produce more. Reducing her food and increasing her exercise will help if she is sufficiently over her spay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloss-Hen Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 thank you for all this info do you know how long this will go on for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 It may be a couple of weeks. Try and get her to snap out of the nesting behaviour if you can by distracting her. Removing any soft toys will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
