The symptoms of fake pregnancy in dogs are similar to those of pregnancy, and they occur, such as enlarged fetal abdominal circumference, swelling of breasts, and a small amount of milk secretion around the nipples. This type of condition is generally caused by factors such as endocrine disorders and unreasonable mating.

Generally, puppies do not need special treatment measures to experience fake pregnancy. They will repair themselves after a period of time. However, chest inflammation, uterine purulent accumulation and other diseases are likely to occur during the fake pregnancy. If abnormalities are found, you should immediately consult a doctor for medication.

If it is a fake pregnancy caused by endocrine disorders such as uterine purulent saccharin, the puppy will discharge purulent secretions during the entire process of the fake pregnancy. If it is not processed and treated in time, it will aggravate the condition and even seriously endanger life.

Fake pregnancy in dogs will cause the growth and development of the thyroid gland and the metabolism of milk, but the inability to discharge milk from everything will cause breast inflammation, and in severe cases, it will continue to cause thyroid ulcer and even atrophy.

Pseudo-pregnancy is a common disease in puppies during breeding season. It refers to the male hormone condition of the female dog in the under-pregnancy period and the male dog has all the characteristics of the female dog during pregnancy, but there is no production and production by the childbirth period. The pseudo-pregnancy disease is delayed for a long time, and whether it is an adult or an elderly female dog, it is very likely that a female dog who has been mated or not mated is born.
