persephone Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 We have a working Koolie who regularly gets a phantom pregnancy . We don't "treat it" as such - she has a toy she carries around, sometimes she won't eat for a night when the due date is ..she never usually has a huge milk supply - we just cut her food back, increase exercise and give her lots of bones/chewy things to distract her . She mothers her toy for some time, then one day decides it is "weaned" ...and is back to normal. You may want to discuss things with your vet if it is a problem . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I'd be getting a vet check first. Then, is it a full blown phantom where the bitch goes around collecting toys, or just the bitch coming into milk? Most breeders just carry life on as normal. Some cut back food and up exercise to decrease milk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzzieLioness Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I've only had one experience with this - a Doberman I had got a big belly, and had milk It was over on Day 64 and never reoccured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
