dawg_luvr Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 G'day folks In the last two weeks this lil female here has put on a lot of gut fat! and quite frankly is looking prego She had a regular heat cycle that started the 16th may, was not breed, and did not come into contact with any males. I'm guessing it is a hormonal thing... but what ever it is it has got me scratching my head. Her food hasn't changed either.... Any ideas please...??? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakway Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 False pregnancy??????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawg_luvr Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 yeah im thinking that could be one explanation.... I'm just trying to see if they can happen at anytime... has anyone had any experience with dogs holding their water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toohey Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) Has her exercise decreased? Are you positive her food has not increased? Does anyone else feed her? Have you actually weighed her? Might be an idea for a vet check. Has she got big boobs? Seems a bit past the time for a phantom as she is 11 weeks out. I have one here who came in a month after your girl - she's in full blown phantom mode and has boobies down to her knees at the moment.

I have one here who came in a month after your girl - she's in full blown phantom mode and has boobies down to her knees at the moment. She isn't as keen to exercise. Food has not increased no one else feeds her. i have weighed her. But before she was like a greyhound... nice and lean! now she has a stomach on her. Her lobules look like they are filling up..... im gonna go to vets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scales of Justice Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Count about 12 days from her first day of season, then add 63 days and see if the timing coincides with a phantom litter. If she has gone past the time for a phantom I would be keeping an eye on her for pyometra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakway Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Well there is one more explanation. Could she have had a false heat, then come back in season and got herself mated without your knowledge and is indeed having puppies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawg_luvr Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 Well there is one more explanation. Could she have had a false heat, then come back in season and got herself mated without your knowledge and is indeed having puppies. hmmm.... her sisters all had normal heat cycles and i didn't notice her coming in heat again. When im not with this girl she is in her pen, and same goes for the other dogs on the yard. I'll just take her for a visit to the vets and let yah know.....
