Fake pregnancy in dogs
Fake pregnancy in dogs, also known as fake pregnancy, refers to the symptoms of abdominal enlargement, breast enlargement, milk squeeze out and other pregnancy-like syndromes after the dog ovulates. Dogs are more likely to be sick than cats.

The clinical manifestations are very similar to normal pregnancy. The sick dog has a mild temperament and a bright coat. Early pregnancy reactions such as vomiting, diarrhea, and increased appetite. Then 50 days after estrus or breeding. Abdomen fat accumulates, abdomen grows, breasts grow, and milk can be squeezed out. Neckbuilding behavior will also occur near the delivery period (about 55 days), loss of appetite or loss of appetite, increased maternal instinct, and willing to breastfeed the baby dogs born to other bitches. Some cases suck their own milk.
If a dog is a pseudo-pregnant due to endocrine disorders, the symptoms will generally disappear 1 to 2 weeks after the above symptoms before delivery. If pus is stored in the uterus, a large amount of purulent secretions will be discharged, contaminating the birth bed and houses, and not dealing with it in time and inappropriately, which can turn into a process of chronic inflammation.
