Hi guys. So my dog is (from best ive read) going through a false pregnancy. I just want to follow up with other doberman owners to make sure this is indeed whats going on.
So she had a heat cycle a few months ago.
In the past few weeks I noticed, what seemed to be over night, her mammary glands became swollen and her nipples got much larger. Lactation shortly followed. Now shes started hording her toys and wont leave from the couch with them. She use to almost pee herself when i would come in from work with excitement. Now she just lays there looking at me. Also i thought i was catching her licking her privates during the night, but it turns out shes nursing herself.
I dont mind her acting a little funny, and honestly its kinda nice that she sleeps on the couch the whole night instead of raiding my bed in the middle of the night =P But she is starting to show a bit of territorial when strangers come to the house. Its a trait shes never displayed before. Its nothing major so far, just low growls and very alert when new people enter. I just want to make sure these behaviors are pretty common and will subside soon-ish.
Can anyone chim in and let me know if this is average?
i attached 2 pics. one of her with her toy, and one of her nips. Hope that doesnt qualify as dobi porn =P
