Oh boy !! She just went through her heat cycle last month. I wonder if it has anything to do with it? I am going to call the Humane Soc. today on my lunch to see if there is anything they say? Beth

I have had several dogs spayed before and never had this happen. I feel bad for her, I tried to have her sleep with out the toys, but she was so worried and cried, so I went and got the 3 toys she has adopted as her babies.. 2 of them are these little Aflac ducks that I got with signing up with Aflac. LOL they don't look anything like a pup.. & the other is one of those new toys that do not have the stuffing. How long do you think this can last?

Many vets are looking into new ways of spaying as better options...instead of a Ovariohysterectomy...they are doing more OVE where they leave the uterus and just remove the ovaries. This fairly new way...at least fairly new to the US ...seems to really not play so much havoc on hormonal changes and actual risks. Don't worry about Dani...it just might take a bit for her to balance out...her little body needs some time to readjust to her new self. Wagging Tails in the Dog Park!

Friday after work go home and Dani is crying, and acting strange. She starts gathering a couple of her small stuffed toys and she has put them in her bed and stays with them. Doesn't want to come out of her bed unless I take the toys too. She is acting like she has had a litter of pups. I have never had a dog spayed and do this? Years ago I had a mini doxie who had had pups at one time, but she was not bred and she had what the vet called a phantom pregnancy. Had all the symtoms of being pregnant. So this is really weird to me. Any body else experience this? Beth
