My poor Liv

Poor Olivia! I hope shes going to be alright. but we know she has a good mommy so shell be just fine. it took me a couple days to recover too. paws up for you!

Oh, poor Olivia! It sounds like she's had a rough time the past day and a half. We'll say our puppy prayers and let us know if there's anything we can do. We'd offer to come play with her, but something tells me she wouldn't be up for that.

Oh, and Mom wants to know...what's a false pregnancy?

Poor Olivia! I'm sure she'll feel OK after a day or two and at least she's taking it easy and you don't have to worry about her being too active!

We'll keep our fingers (and paws) crossed that she feels better tomorrow!!

Oh, and our mom wants to know what a false pregnancy is too!!

I guess their body thinks they are pregnant. Their mammary glands start to swell and they "act" like they are pregnant. Trying to nurse things, like shoes or whatever. Olivia never did this, I think we got her in before she got too far. Her little nips were starting to swell, but not real big. I guess with a false pregnancy their nips can get huge, and start producing milk. With that and her infection I am so thankful we got her in when we did.

They said at FACE that pit bulls were "notorious" for having false pregnancies.

My cocker had a False Pregnancy. She had swelling of her belly, her glands and everything (but only on one side). She was producing milk too. She would be VERY upset if you took any of her squeaking toys and made them squeak. She carried them around as if they were her puppies. Now with her, they would not do her spay until her swelling had gone down quite a bit so we had to live thru her false pregnancy for a long time. It was horrible. Think about having your cycle for months straight! She was miserable and made us miserable with her whinning / crying / odd behavior.

I hope Liv feels better soon! Each day she'll get a little better. Encourage rest & the other ones to leave her be as much as possible.

You've got all our puppy prayers that beautiful Liv bounces back soon.

Honestly, the way that Titus trys to mother every puppy or kitten that he's around makes me wonder if male dogs can experience something like a false pregnancy.

I'm so sorry you feel poopy, Livvie. Snuggle hard and get better soon. We love you.

Aaawwww Livvvvyyyy! Feel better soon!

Poor Liv! I hope you feel better ASAP!! We're sorry to hear about all the problems. It is a good thing you got in there when you did! Mom says it's hard to see your baby sick, so she is sympathizing! When Bev got her tooth pulled, she didn't feel well. Mom made me leave her alone.

Give poor Liv a muzzle snuggle from all of us down here in GA....hope she feels better really really soon. We'll be sayin' puppy prayers.

Poor Livvie......{sniff-sniff} I hope she feels better soon!!!

Aw, poor Olivia! Pyometra is not to be messed around with, so I'm glad it got caught early. Good luck with her. She's in my thoughts.

Poor Olivia! I hope she is getting lots of rest and pain meds. My Border Terrier had a false pregnancy once after I bred her. She was pretty intense about it, even letting one of our kittens nurse!

Thank you guys SO much! She is feeling better today. She woke me up this morning; tail wagging! She's still slow going, which is okay cause it's easier to keep her down. Charlie and PNell have been doing good with her. I had to crate Charlie a couple times yesterday cause he just wanted to play with her, but she wasn't up to it. She passed a small blood clot yesterday, I called FACE and they said that would be expected with what she had gone through. She hasn't passed anymore, just that one. Again, thank you guys for your thoughts and prayers. They worked FAST! :)

yay! we're so glad olivia is feeling better!
