Just treat her like it is real - give a secure den with a lot of newspapers to shred. If she makes milk, it'll reabsorb on its own. Her instincts are telling her she is about to have puppies - that will pass in time.
As per the vet, as some noted, they can be wrong if the determination was solely visual inspection and/or palpitation especially if there is a single puppy. Been there.

If you do not have future plans on breeding her get her spayed,, if she is this hormonal,, not fair to her.. and she could be at risk for mamory infection,, and also a real pain in the butt,, too..
If she is going to be bred,,in the future,, expect her to do this EVERY time she is in season.. sometimes more or less,, but this behavior is generally a particular thing some bitches do..
Best thing is humor her,, try not to reinforce the behavior.. it should subside soon,, but other than that,, there really is not too much you can do,, in some cases drugs are used in severe cases to shut down the hormones,, and reduce milk production.. but this would be in more severe cases.. and bitches that need that kind of help, it is generally not recommended they be bred.. becuase this would be considered abnormal..
Actually spaying a dog during a false pregnancy is not recommmednd because it often prolongs the symptoms.. so getting her fixed right now will not solve the problem.. best to wait then do it.. right after..

for sure your vet might desire to allow you realize. If she improve into allowed around an intact dogs throughout her warmth, she very possibly is pregnant. fake pregnancies do no longer reason "psychological subjects" in canines. that's ridiculous. Why do you go with to mate her? Is she a conformation champ? you may no longer comprehend if her genetic screenings will bypass yet as she isn't sufficiently previous to have had any yet. It would not sound such as you're a accountable breeder. And sure; whelping even only one muddle makes you a breeder. If she improve into mated 8 weeks in the past you have approximately ONE WEEK left. you ought to have been on the vets weeks in the past as though she is pregnant you have a great deal compromised her foodstuff and the over all well being of any domestic dogs that she may well be carrying. Get her to the vets first ingredient Monday morning and permit this be a lesson which you're nowhere close to waiting to allow her to reproduce.

ok, ask yourself these questions, VETs do NOT know everything....
1. Are you 100 % sure she was not mated, this is a dog now they are sneaky, back yard stray hops on over gets a lil sum sum and takes off?
2. Can you account for being with her every time she was outside, can anyone else in control of her account for this? Are they not telling you?
My parents were positive NO DOG got to our shepherd, she was supposed to supply 'police dogs only' Ha! my bro takes her for a walk...sees buddies.... lets her run all over the place.. at buddies house and BAM A Great Dane knocked her up, talk about your two month falsies, she popped out 12 pups how she managed we do not know but she had them all of them lived...Including my bro.
If you can NOT account for every time, or someone is not telling you something, you might be looking at a couple pups, only after 21 days can vets detect it.
Lots a luck!

You really shouldn't spay her during this, so won't suggest it - but I sure would after she's done with it.
Meanwhile, let her take small stuffed toys into her crate, or bed, with her as substitute puppies, that should comfort her, she will have "babies" to care for. If she wants to just stay with them and not run and play like her usual self, humor her until she gets over this.
I once went through this with a female dachsie who normally shares her crate with her "brother" (neutered), but she would take several little stuffed toys into the crate with her and stay there with them day and night - and she wouldn't let her regular crate partner in.
She carried those little stuffed toys with her wherever she went too, if she did come out to potty or eat.
Her usual sweet temperament was gone and she would growl at him, or any other dog, that came near her and her "litter".
She did this for a couple of weeks, then decided enough mothering, threw the toys out, and was done with it, but was a real pain while she was doing it.
Not worth it, for you or the dog - get her spayed
as soon as she's out of season.

I agree with others when this false pregnancy is over get her spayed. My rescue dog went through several false pregnancies and was miserable and hormonal come to find out she had cysts on her overies. She is spayed and happy now. If a dog goes through one false pregnancy they will go through more and it's really not good for them.

Get her spayed. Once the hormone levels subside this will be behind her and never happen again.

Yup, get her spayed. Then you won't have to worry about it and she'll be much happier (and more pleasant for you to live with!)
