Lukey12 126 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hey up fellas... Terrier looks as if she has put a lot of weight on her belly but on closer inspection all her teets are swolen not hard but like a soft tissue feel to them. She doesn't seem to be in any pain and she is not in season and not due in season. Any ideas cheers 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Havelightforcewilltravel 417 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 If she ain't been caught might be phantom pregnancy most bitchs get milk on and go soft in condition around 8 weeks after stop bleeding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,172 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Phantom pregnancy perhaps? You need to check the date she came into season. November would make if a very delayed phantom, but I have known bitches stay soft and milky for up to 12 weeks following a season. If she seems fine in every other way, drop her food intake, no carbohydrates. Feed raw if you can, plenty of bones, and give her loads of exercise. I've also found that post season bitches will want to eat more than they need: nature's way of preparing for a possible litter, but they will also put on weight if allowed to eat their normal amount of food. I have to cut their food right back towards the end of the second month after a season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,172 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Galastop is a diuretic, which means it makes the dog pee a lot, and takes fluid from the body unnaturally. It may work a treat, but I don't personally think this can be a good thing. Some bitches are very prone to having phantom pregnancies, and if they affect the bitch for months after she's had a season it may be better to consider getting her spayed if you do not intend breeding from her. There may be some evidence to suggest that frequent phantoms accompanied by heavy milk production may lead to mammary cancer. This is not proven, but it happened in two bitches I had and both milked up badly after a season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
