Phantom pregnancy!

Not been on here for a while! Sky has been fine up till today..her spay date!

Turns out she is going through a phantom pregnancy..She seemed a bit odd but i just thought she was missing her staffy cousins(neurered males) that she spent a week with whilst i was away getting married!
Her spay has to be re arranged whilst she is on hormone meds but has anybody else expeeienced this?

I feel guilty for not thinking something was wrong sooner. Anyway i can comfort ?or just share your experiences with me..

they have confirmed she is not pregnant just the male interaction has made her think she is...

Aww hugs for sky >< I'm sorry I've no experience of this but I'm sure someone who does will come along shortly

My girl has had 3 phantoms. Her last one was the 'worst' she went thru a mini labor and spent a whole day panting.
She didn't need meds, and she didn't produce milk.

She was very sorry for herself, but we kept her occupied with exercise / interesting treats and lots of snuggles.

Ladies are all crazy. Even dogs.. But on a serious note. Hope she is ok..

Can't offer any advice, but she will be ok ><

a couple of days on her meds and she will soon snap out of it,we had lots of phantoms with sash(before she was spayed)she would pick a toy and mummy it,she's carry it around with her,put it by her teats as if she was feeding it,very sad to see ,but with in a couple of days on hormone medicine she would snap out of it, and shread the toy that was her baby ,try and give her lots more walks too,just so it takes her mind of it

aw thanks guys. hoping for her next spay date on 25th it will be all done and dusted! she hasnt gone to the extreme of mothering a toy or the mini labour! thank god. We have a small male westie visiting for a day friday but the vets said its ok aslong as she is taking meds. Just feel sorry for her!!

What meds are they? I must admit I've never given meds to a bitch with a phantom - just let them work through it.

its oral medication in a syringe. to ' snap her out of it' or reverse her hormones aparently

Blimey. I'd have left well alone! They get through it in a week or so usually!

Ah well, the vet knows what he's doing.

its been going on for 2.5 weeks..plus she needs spaying before her next season...i really dont want her to have another due to health. think its just an extra push!

If it's been going on for over two weeks, then it'll be very close to finishing anyway!

I suppose the vet feels he wants to speed it up so he can spay her. How old is she?

she is 1 and 3 months almost.already had two seasons. maximum in my opinion. really hope its cleared by end of june

It should be over well before that! She'll come out of it very soon, you'll see.

Thanks! il keep you all updated

Once my girl finishes her season she has gone straight into phantom with labour 'type' after a month or so - we have just kept a close eye, she's mothered Tank a bit / cleaning, snuggling him etc. but mire exercise and things to take get mind off it helps a great deal.
I've always kept an eye on her 'bits' check for nasty discharge etc.

My girl has successfully gotten over her 3 phantoms without medical intervention.
