PSEUDO PREGNANCY

• This is a phenomenon seen in many adult bitches.
• After the oestrus period, the mammary glands are enlarged and will show secretion of milk.
• The bitch shows all the symptoms of pregnancy and impending parturition. But the bitch will not be carrying any pup.
• This does not in anyway interfere with its breeding capacity. They become pregnant and litter normally during the subsequent seasons
