handling of health problems

[hanninadina]

Mikael, what kind of "originally post from me" is that one you posted? I never wrote such a post "Edit and Monika are good....".

In the opposite to you I know all these people personally and I don´t live only in internet but drive to poland, czech republik, spain, holland, france, canada, the us, to meet wolf and wolfdog people. So I can make a realistic picture from everything and not only from listening to people who are champion in forum and miss real life.

Didn't want to start a new topic, so will ask here.
Could you please share your experience about false pregnancy? Is it common in our breed? I didn't meet any cases, but my experience is really very little...

My bitch Frei had a couple of false pregnancies. That's why I want to breed with her as often as possible (she got in heat before her real pregnancy every 6 months). The first false pregnancy was worse, as I was not at home and my parents were quite surprised by it, they even went to vet to check if she is not pregnant. She almost started the milk production. Second time she only got really fat and refused to go for walks and wanted to eat all the time (that was after her real pregnancy). Both times she was not mated. This heat is developing very slow, and maybe will be skipped altogether, as she now seems to have stopped without going through the strong bleeding phase, and if she gets in the mating phase before mid-August, I will not be able to mate her, so we will see... I hope she decided to skip the spring heat this time...

My previous bitch Kei never had false pregnancy, but she had pyometra twice, both times when she was pregnant (first time she delivered 8 pups, second time was acute and she had to be sterilised).

I see your girl requires some strenght from you
Let's say, it is said, that some of the breeds tend to have false pregnancies very often - like Irish setters (correct me if it is not true). Can we say that wolfdogs are also similar? Or is it mostly the exceptions?

I'd say it is more exceptional... From what I read, if a bitch has false pregnancy, it tents to repeat. But there are still only few wolfdogs with this problem I think.

Well, the topic is not very popular, so maybe it is really not very common in the breed. Thanks for sharing your experience
