Do dogs go into false pregnancy every time they're in heat?

I just asked about my dog being in heat. when we got her, the breeder said she was at the end of heat. the false pregnancy last time lasted for a good 2 months. she told us that it was part of being in heat but i'm guessing not. my family doesn't have enough money at the moment to get her fixed but we plan to in the near future. does she definately go into false pregnancy after heat, or is it only sometimes? Also, if she was producing ,milk when we got her, and it didn't go away for about a month, would that definately be a false pregnancy or could it be someting else? we later found out that the person we got her from didn't take much care of her because she had a food allergy and it was causing her to bald.Do dogs go into false pregnancy every time they're in heat?
Not all dogs do it, but if they've done it once they're likely to do it again, each time.Do dogs go into false pregnancy every time they're in heat?
It sounds like this breeder you got her from was very irresponsible.





I hope you can find your answer here. I apologize, because I don't have any experience with dogs in heat. I just wanted to say thank you for planning on spaying her!
You really need to get her fixed! I know you just said that your family doesn't have enough money (which I don't even know WHY anyone would get a pet if they cannot be financially responsible) but there are several places that offer FREE or CHEAP spaying and nueder for LOW INCOME people. Or just say it's your grandmothers or grandfathers and usually you can get the procedure done for free.
Not all dogs go into false preg. I had one that went into it every time she went into heat and would carry her toys around and tuck them into her stomach when she would lay down we ended up having her spayed to spare her from the ordeal. I am glad you got her allergy under control. I would check around and see if you can find a low cost spay and nueter clinic in your area. They can be a lot cheaper .
How did you find out about a food allergy? Save for the spaying, females bodies go through all the stages as if they had pups but on a very subliminal level. Some females more and some less. Best to spay and prevent unwanted litters, some illnesses and it's pure convenience as well.
Take her to a low cost spay/neuter clinic like Petluv, it is only about 55. there.


Call your local Humane Society to find out what low cost clinics or vets there are in your area.





It was good of you to take the little dog and nurse her back to health, but she sounds as if she would be far better off spayed, so try to get her done asap.





No, it is not normal for a dog to have false pregnancy or milk, I am wondering if the breeder didn't lie to you about her never having been bred - sounds as if she had puppies at one point.





Most females go into 2 heat cycles a year, without false pregnancy. Your dog may have some problems with heats and really should be spayed soon.





Good luck, I'm glad you saved her and gave her a loving home. Now do your best by her and find a low cost spaying service (they give shots very reasonably too if she needs any more).
some breeds are more likely to have false pregnancies than others... you should get her spayed so she does not get pyometra
