Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Question about Pseudo (false) pregnancy Empty
PostSubject: Question about Pseudo (false) pregnancy   Question about Pseudo (false) pregnancy EmptyTue Sep 04, 2018 8:50 pm

Hello all, I have a 3yr old intact female that is now going thru her second false pregnancy and I am exhausted. My vet suggested having her spayed to eliminate the condition but we i tend to breed her with her next heat in the Spring. She has never had a litter ao she is working strictly on instinct but my poor baby is thoroughly distraught. She has selected the back of my closet as her “den” and is routinely stealing towels from the hper and adding thwm to her nest in my closet. She has imprinted on one of favorite toys which is a soft furry pig that is just the right size and actually “grunts” when squeezed. She only leaves it to pee and eat and is constantly bathing it and trying desperately to get it to nurse. I’m afraid if I remove it she will grieve herself to death. Is there any way to ease her stress or shorten the cycle? My heart is breaking for her.

Take the 'baby' away and close the door to the closet to prevent her from going back there. It will help shorten the cycle. She will think that they either died or were weened. She won't grieve herself to death. She may mope and search for a bit but will eventually get over it. The only way to stop this is to spay her. As she gets older this can get worse. Giving low dose of melatonin can help some but won't fix the issue. She does this when she isn't pregnant, can you imagine how bad it could be when she is? I have a poorly spayed female that goes through false pregnancies. It is horrible and they have gotten harder on her every year.

You can talk to her vet about behavioral meds (trazadone) but I would just slay her. It’s not fair for her to be so uncomfortable and stressed Sad

Pretty sure Jennet meant "spay" her, so don't slay her, please! Wink

Seriously though, have you really thought the breeding thing through? Thoroughly? Id also recommend taking the toy away, ALL toys. It will distress her but she is already distressed. Taking the toys away shortens the duration though.
