Frenchie Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Hi everyone, I am needing some advise please as I'm starting to worry, we've noticed in the last week that Mishka's appetite has greatly increased, she is eating a lot. Her mammary gland have started to enlarge and ''drop'', and she is now lactating, it is coming out quite easily, a little pinch and it comes out.. Her behaviour has also changed, she is even more ''cuddly'' than usual (basically sticks to us like glue) at times and at other times she ignores us and looks a bit depressed. She had her season around May. I will be taking her to the vet this week, but wanted your opinions first Here are some pictures of her mammary glands and the milk?

That is what is worrying me, and I thought they tend to happen soon after a heat cycle, she had her season in May, but when we first came to France, Dante (Dad's doggy) started her season (Around 20th July), I'm starting to worry it might have enduced a silent heat in Mishka as she has been known to come into season early. There is a male dog next door with whom Mishka plays a lot :/ Her abdomen hasn't really enlarged, but it does feel a bit tight... We will be doing a scan on Friday. Yes spaying was planned but my priority was to get her to France, I payed for all of that, so financialy spaying was a bit tight at the time.

Frenchie Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Well Mishka had the vet perplex, so she got an ultrasound, apparently no puppies but indeed a phantom pregnancy, medication for 6 days and she should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchie Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 well that is good news... always nice to stun the vet a wee bit keeps them on track... Yes for sure! Lol She really had us starting to worry, her belly had started to round up too, the vet spent quite long checking her But she was an absolute star for the ultrasound, even layed on her back, not fussing when they shaved her, put the gel and done the procedure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchie Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Thanks for the update. Hopefully she'll come round from this fairly soon. Xxx Thank you Emma, she is coming on quite well, the belly's back to normal and she isn't producing milk anymore, mammary glands still a bit enlarged but they're getting better, she is still nesting a bit, but not as much. xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
