doras scan today

dora was scanned today and was showing nothing- completly empty!

i really thought she is pregnant she has had morning sickness her nipples are swollen shes getting naughty and pinching others dinner and she has dropped her coat again when its not due

today is day 28 and 2 people are saying its abit early and the pups are too high yet daisy her sister was scanned at day 28 aswell

so now i have no idea if she is pregnant or not !

cheri

Oh No, so sorry cheri

Sounds like she is having a Phantom. Normally if a bitch drops their coat during 'pregnancy' its a sign that there are no pups & its a phantom.

We scan around 28-30 days, thats the optimum time. May be worth re-scanning in a week as if she only has one or 2, they may be more visible then.

have replied on facebook cheri, sorry about not replying straight away

i knew Kathy would know more than me , she knows everything

sorry mean to say, like Marles hope it's better news later on

Oh Cheri hope it's better news later...

Oh DOH!!
Lucy has a phantom same time as Maisy really was in whelp.. she had all the signs & I was completely convinced she was...and so was she!!!
However, we had her hipscored after the phantom & her scores were hurrendous, even though she never been lame a day in her life or have any signs of HD, so I was actually relieved that she didn't take :-(
Am a great believer in that everything happens for a reason, so if Dora isn't in whelp something else good will be in the pipeline x

ive now been told that someone had 3 differnt dogs scanned that were pregnant but nothing was showing at day 28 one litter was of 13

daisy dropped her coat mid pregnancy its something alpennine bitches do! all gwens do it aswell

i have no idea i think i may have her blood tested tomorrow so i can be sure before i let my waiting list people know

confused! lol

Dana was scanned at 28 days and the vet said definitely no pups. He even bet me £10 that she wasn't in whelp.
By 45 days she was so obviously in whelp that I had her scanned again and five pups showed up. When they were born they were massive pups so I don't know where they were hiding at 28 days !
Dana was a very big bitch though.

im taking dora for a blood test today to find out if she is or not,

i just want to know so i can either get her in some shows or get ready for puppies

will let you all know once i know which actually is harder than i thought lol

cheri

Good luck...

the vet said she is 100% not in whelp!

this fantom behavior is soooo real looking its amazing to watch

cheri xx

Oh, am so sorry hun, i've had a couple of my girls have phantoms, its not fun at all

Im sorry no pups! It just isnt meant for her right now. ((hugs))

just a update on dora

she is still eating like shes pregnant and has now started to develop the back nipples into lose empty boobs !!!

i am feeding her abit extra as if not she tries to pinch the other dogs food

no idea how long this will last!

cheri

Lucy's phantom lasted the duration that her pregnancy would have!!
Thankfully we had puppies arrive around the time that she was due so she spent her days peering into the whelping box. Maisy was very good & didnt mind & Lucy was happy

well i suppose it will end whens she is due then with abit of luck she will be ok for the united show!

only god knows!
