Phantom pregnancy

[Mark_stimpo]

Hi i have a problem with my staffie shes obsessed with a pepperami rubber toy, shes been carrying it round sleeping on it, whimp[ering when shes by it, i also came back at dinner time to find she had gone into my daughters room and took a collection of her cuddly toys onto my bed and set up a little creche!!! ive also just noticed she has milk coming out 1 of her nipples, has anyone else experienced this? or no what to do? its becoming a problem, i really do think that she thinks this pepperami toy is her pup!

she has not been done or has never been near a male dog,

Hi, I just answered you on another forum. It's a false pregnancy, to be expected with unspayed females not bred and can last 3 wks. If you need to avoid in the future, get her spayed. She's also at high risk for pyometra which can kill her. Good luck. -C
