Q. How do you know when your rabbit has a false pregnancy and when will she stop acting like she's pregnant?
A. A rabbit might go through a false pregnancy is she is bred to a buck but doesn't get pregnant or even if another female rabbit mounts her. Signs of pregnancy can include restlessness, increased appetite and digging in the cage, and throwing around bowls, toys, etc. Around the 18th day of a false pregnancy, your doe may carry hay and make a nest and pull fur from her chest and belly. This is a pretty good sign she's experienced a false pregnancy. She may be bred again after that.
A genuine pregnancy lasts approximately 31 days.

A. Some women believe without a doubt they are truly pregnant. Their bodies secrete hormones to physically mock a real pregnancy. They start to have symptoms that normal pregnant women have and some even believe they feel the "baby" moving. The aftermath usually results in the woman realizing she is not pregnant (which is hard since this condition is mainly mental), and may lead to medication, therapy, etc. Usually pregnancy tests and/or an ultrasound are ways used to show the woman she is not with child. Hope this helped.
Can a female dog go into heat immediately following a false pregnancy?
Q. My female boston terrier experienced a false pregnancy recently. Her Vulva is still swollen. I just need to know if she is still receptive and possibly fertile. She went into heat on April 3rd. I am looking for a 3rd opinion. My friend who has bred and shown dogs for 30 yrs says to take her to the vet. I took my dog to the vet, and the vet said their isn't anything wrong with her. She did an ultrasound to confirm the false pregnancy and to look for Pyrometra.
A. No! she probably won't come in heat again until October...most dogs only have 2 heat cycles in a 12 month period...some even only have one.
how long will my dogs behavior from having a false pregnancy last, and what can i do to help?
Q. I recently got my female dog spayed and i believe she is going through a false pregnancy, how long before it stops, and what can i do to help? She also will not stop whining, is there anything i can do to help that?
A. They usually will not go thru a false pregnancy after being spayed!! It could be something else going on, an infection or something like that. I would suggest taking her to the vet to make sure everything is okay/
