Okay, I promise this is my last thought, but could it be possible that your puppy is having a false pregnancy?

Lou Lou is 11 months old and is having a false pregnancy and is even producing milk. The way my vet explained it, is that they can have all the signs, it only cost me $22 to find that out and it was a big relief to me to not have to worry. I hope that if she is going to have puppies, everything goes smoothly! Good luck to you and Angel!

When a dog has a false pregnancy, they go through EVERYTHING that a valid pregnant dog would go through. Even the mental and physical attributes of pregnancy. Their bellies get bigger, they produce milk, start nesting, etc. Some even carry through and have false labors when they are never really pregnant in the first place. If she is having a false pregnancy, you really need to take her to the vet to have it properly looked at. Please. Unless you have taken her to a vet and the vet takes an ultrasound and verifies she is pregnant, there is ALWAys a chance of it being a false pregnancy

Take her to the vet! Take her to the vet! For many reasons, take her to the vet!

STOP asking for our help if you will not act upon it.
Your dog needs to see a VET.

I'm sorry that this is happening and that you are too young to do anything about it. I will say this; your parents are the most irresponsible pet owners I've heard of in a while. They have no business having ANY animals if they can't even afford to buy a new diaper for the dog. I know you're young and that you are on this board seeking help. Good for you, you can break this chain of HORRIBLE animal care when you grow up.

Your dog needs to go to the vet. The puppies and the mother will most likely die. I know that your family doesn't have the money. I suggest spending time with your dog. Without vet care theses are probably her last days. Also, please do not ask for another dog until your parents are prepared to care for it properly.

I'm sorry if this is blunt, but these are not little toys, these are living animals with feelings and you should know this. Again, I know this is not your fault, but it is your parents fault.

Also, since you are you are young and learning I have a few other things to add. Breeding should never be an accident. There are VERY few acceptations to this. Bred dogs should have tests that are thousands and thousands of dollars before breeding. Two purebreds doesn't cut it, they have to be medically checked.

Look at the faces in the animal shelter. For every "oops" litter that is born that is how many shelter dogs are sentenced to death all because your dog is not spayed. These are rough words, but if you are old enough to join this board I really think you are old enough to hear this.

I know you will hate me after this, but I really hope that you learn something. I'm not saying this to upset you and it's all true. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. Hopefully these memories will make you a better pet owner than your parents.

Is there a relative that can help you? Maybe advance some birthday money? Something like that? There are places that can spay her for around $100-$150. If you want I can look on the Internet and make some calls to find a place. Please let me know.
