Sat down for a few minutes in the shop, and Breezy climbed up on the couch for a belly rub. As I was rubbing her, it seems her milk glands were swollen all the way down her belly, and when I pinched her, she had milk in almost every nipple. She has always been more nipply than any other female ive ever had. This kind of concerns me.

She is intact, and set to be bred next time she comes in season..

Her sire is Keg Creek Rising Cooper whos sire was Tonellis Rising Sun, her dam is Wrenegades Rythym N Blues Lullably, whos sire was Moesgaards Rhythm n Blues.

Shes scheduled for a regular vet appointment next week, mid week, but wondering if I should bump it up.

Went to vet today.. Pseudo pregnancy. I can leave her alone and it will go away in 3-4 weeks, or treat and it will go away in 2-3 weeks. I left untreated.
 
Like I said lol. In English, false pregnancy.:D. Happens every year it seams at least once to my dogs after they go in heat. Sometimes even when no heat. You can be a bit rough, and cut food for a 24 hr period and that usually will clear it up faster. But it is no big deal. You can hunt train what ever.:thumbsup:

Wow. I had no idea there was such a thing:confused:. Thanks for the info Ken;)
 
My English Setter would go into false pregnancies. Sometimes it was a bit sad.
She had this rubber toy rat that she would bring to her bedding, and arrange it as if it were going to nurse.

This went on, even after she had her litter. Just some sort of hormonal imbalance, I'd guess.
 
It does not have to be associated with a heat cycle. But often it is just after. But I have seen it in the middle far away from heat. Kiss, LOL. Mine do the same thing every time. They act like its their new born.:D
 
We have a couple chickens that are predisposed to it. They'll pull out all their belly feathers and start sitting on eggs. No matter how many times you take the eggs away, they just sit on the nest and wait for the other chickens to lay more eggs and then they sit on those.

If they don't give it up in a day or two, we put them in a wire-bottom cage for a few days. Apparently cooling their belly down for a few days causes their hormones go back to normal. So far it is the only method that has been 100% effective. Too bad there isn't a technique like that for dogs.
