False pregnancy

Healthcare image

Some entire female dogs and cats develop changes several months after a season. This is often referred to a 'false pregnancy' or 'pseudopregnancy'. In most animals this is not a serious condition but it can be inconvenient for the owner and disturbing for the animal. Usually the condition resolves without any treatment but if you not thinking of breeding from your pet then it is worth considering neutering to prevent this condition.
