Is my dog having a phantom pregnancy?

Oh, cool, ghost puppies! Your dog is going to give birth to the hounds of the Baskervilles!

I'm serious! I heard that dogs can have phantom pregnancies, just like humans.

Human phantom pregnancies are so rare they hardly even come up on reality TV, whereas there is a whole TV series on I didn't know I was pregnant.

What causes phantom pregnancy?

Dogs go into heat.

I know that.

Sometimes their bodies continue on with the cycle, even if they didn't get pregnant.

How do you know if she is having a phantom pregnancy?

Some of the symptoms are similar, like weight gain, nesting behavior and enlarged mammary glands.

But there are no puppies.

Why are you so sure it is a phantom pregnancy?

Because if it isn't, she's going to give birth to the doggie Messiah.

False pregnancies take place from one to three months after the dog was in heat, but usually don't last more than a month.

If the dog is still in a false pregnancy after that point, she needs to see a vet.

Or an exorcist.

What can I do about this? It isn't like I can talk her out of it.

Limit her food and water to limit the milk production. And stay away from any pet psychics.

Rationing her food seems cruel.

You should also try to keep her from licking the mammary glands, since this stimulates milk production and the fake pregnancy.

Now I have a practical use for those ugly dog sweaters my mother gave me.

If that doesn't work, use one of those large dog collars.

Why do I hear so much more about phantom dog pregnancies than human ones?

Dogs' bodies switch automatically to pregnancy mode after heat, whether or not they got pregnant.

If that happened in humans, morning sickness would be as prevalent as hangovers on Spring Break.
