My dog is showing signs of ppregnancy 2 months after her last heat cycle. She was completely isolated from males during her cycle but she is milked up and lactating. Her stomach shows no signs of pregnancy though. I believe there is no way she is pregnant. Could she be having a false pregnancy. I looked it up and apparently it is pretty common in dogs. Anyone every had this happen and if so is there any way to bring her out of it?

Can hunt her like I usually do or should I give her a break? She seems to tire out faster than normal and based on her looks right now her body is definitely stressed out.

My mother in law used to raise sh*itzu's and they would have false pregnancies regularly. Especially when one was pregnant, the others would have false pregnancies.

I was afraid you were going to say that. This completely messes up my plans for this week. |

Hunt the piss out of her, I've had several here recently go thru it. It will last a week or two, then dry back up.  |

I'll take her out on the first run and see how she does... I assume she'll be fine. Only thing that worries me is how quick she's been getting tired. She's become very territorial lately. Im guessing that's the hormones. At least when my wife gets aggressive that's what I blame it on... lol

Hunt the piss out of her, I've had several here recently go thru it. It will last a week or two, then dry back up. My best bitch went through a false pregnancy and got all emotional with me this past winter. She started a good boar one night and dropped out of the race after a couple of hours. Right when things were heating up at that! I tried to put her back in and she would just bark at me in a whining way like she had lost her dang mind.  This is a dog that has started and finished 4 and 5 hour races by herself. She went completely retarded on me but I just kept hunting the piss out of her. It was frustrating and I was starting to wonder if she would ever get out of it. After about 5-6 weeks she straightened out and was back to normal. Just keep hunting her. Even after the physical signs are gone, the hormones and the emotional stuff will still be out of whack for a little while. |

I have had gyps all but quit hunting 30 days before their heat cycles and not hardly do a dang thing till 30 days after their heat cycles.
Weird but it happens. Those hormones must be hell ahhaahah.

Yep just like ninja and mike said, I had the same experience with a female and wouldn't take none of her crap. Just like human women, the hormones will drive them bonkers for a while |

My Cricket female is going through a false pregnancy now. JJ has pups and now and Cricket THINKS she has pups. She is growly around the crate she "thinks" the pups are in and won't let another dog close to it. She will come out to eat/do her business then back in the crate.
I have had several dogs do this over the years, and it will eventually pass. It does seem like some females are more prone to it. I doubt mine would even get in the truck now without stressing something was around her imaginary babies!

I'm starting to get worried... She's been throwing up since Monday night. It's not as frequent today but still about once an hour. She'll take some real heavy breathes then gag like she has something caught in her throat but not much comes out. With the heat and her loosing fluid I'm worried about dehydration... Any advice?
