My dog is growing breasts!! Is this a phantom pg or maybe mastitis(sp)?

[Wisteria]

Says it all above really, I'm going to nip her to the Vet anyway but thought I'd ask (don't want to spend a fortune if it's nothing serious).

Her tissue around a few nipples is swollen; but equally on both sides and she keeps whinging/ crying, but not as if she's in pain - it's been about 3-4 months since her last season.
Any advice or knowledge gratefully received - going to go and walk her now but will be back to check..

Bump!

Thank you - been trawling the net trying to find out and went rhrough 20mins of thinking it could be pyometra but I don't think it is - made an appt for Vet tomorrow at 10, will post the outcome.
She's feeling v sorry for herself at the mo - off her food with swollen boobs, know how she feels! Just waiting for her to come and steal the toy labrador puppy my youngest has got!

god that would be like the lucky dip at the fair .....and what's it gonna be???,

no - pretty sure no dog got to her, she's already promised to a Springer next year!

Not the best analogy Speccy - they both copped it!!

imagining a chihuahua x atm ROFL

We did have a lovely choc lab lined up for her but apparently her little hips wouldn't be able to cope.....

my lab gets breasts when she comes n to season

she isnt pregnant is she

sorry read your other post shes not in season it might be phantom

hope she is ok

Thanks Sniff - all advice gladly received as I'm clueless; my first bitch had already been spayed when I got her, my 2nd was a dog so no exp necessary; this is my first foray into the uncharted territory of fertile bitches!!

Bump - shameless that I am but someone must be able to give me some insight into this!

Update - been to the vet. It is a phantom pg.

Quite amusing really, she even has milk coming out! Vet has assured me she is not pg.

oh dear are you going to breed her or has the vet sugggested spaying sp her when this is over

planning on allowing her one litter next year, got a lovely black & white springer lined up!!

I'm not sure tbh, she's very mopey and keeps whinging. Tail seems to be between her legs when she's not being played with (unusual) and she's curled up in her basket more than normal with one of her red balls from the garden!
It's going everywhere with her!

Yes it was what your vet said! She'll be ok - it's just doing my head in with the whinging, nothing I can do to help her or explain what's happening, she's obsessed with the milk coming out of her nips at the mo - and I've still not finished the accounts I was supposed to finish yesterday, she's far more interesting!

my lab gets like this when in season whiney needy and obsessive

so it must be a bit like me with PMT poor girl

I hope it doesnt last to long do you have to take her back

Me too! No he said to only bring her back if it goes on more than a week or two. They can give something to help if it doesn't settle down but we are both of the opinion that nature is best in this kind of situ.
