Basically, she's finished her first season and decided she was going to have puppies anyway, bless her. She's been super clingy, like a little shadow, and gone off her food a bit, which is why we took her to the vet. No nesting, thankfully, which I've heard can be proper weird. Her lady bits are back to normal-ish after her season, but her nipples were still enlarged, and she actually produced a bit of milk at the vet's. Poor thing.
So, the vet's given her this stuff called Galastop to stop the whole fake pregnancy thing, and some Pardale because she was a bit warm. She was proper sleepy this morning, though. Couldn't tell if it was the meds or just her being dramatic. Honestly, I'm hoping she perks up in the next couple of days. These phantom pregnancies sound like a right pain for them.
Alright, let's break down those vet meds in a way that's a bit less... well, vet-y.
Galastop:
Pardale:
- Think of Galastop as a "chill out, you're not actually pregnant" medicine. It's got this stuff in it that tells her body to stop making the "I'm having puppies!" hormone.
- Basically, it's like a hormonal reset button. No more milk, no more acting like she's about to give birth to a litter of imaginary pups.
Pardale:
- Pardale's your basic pain and fever reducer. It's like giving her a bit of doggy paracetamol and something to take the edge off.
- So, if she's feeling a bit hot and bothered, this stuff should help her cool down and feel less rubbish.
Basically, Galastop's sorting out the "fake pregnancy" drama, and Pardale's just making her feel a bit more comfortable while her body gets back to normal.
We're just keeping an eye on her, making sure she's comfy and has plenty of water. Fingers crossed the meds kick in soon and she's back to her crazy self.
Anyone else had to deal with this? Any tips for making her feel better? Let me know in the comments!
