False pregnancy
[by Dr. Brian -
Bus: 5274760
Res. 527.0999
FalSe pregnancy or pseudopregnancy is a
fairly common condition in dogs: It is related
to-.two other conditions. sometimes seen in
bitches; endometrial hyperplasia (an increase
in growth of the inner lining of the uterus) and,
pyometra (infection in :the uterus ' with
accumulation of pus). The relations of these
three conditions is incompletely understood
but since the latter two are abnormal,
consideration should be given• to false
pregnancy.
False'' pregnancy is considered' to be
a normal occurrence but the signs seen vary
considerably.- The owner may notice slight
abdominal distension and an increase in size
of mammary glands approximately two
months after a previous heat (the- normal
gestation period of a deg varies between
"lifty-eighi and sixty-three days).
These signs are the mildest seen but false
pregnancy may include , signs of (in the
° extreme case) impending birth. For example,
• the mammary glands may begin to secrete
milk, discomfort is, manifested; by restless-
ness, nervousness, panting and irritability,
the bitch may make a nest and when no birth
occurs, she may adOpt another puppy, kitten
or toy and become quite protective to it.
In the extreme cases, if there has been a
previous history 'of mating, the owner may
become quite concerned when no pups arrive
after a time. In this instance, radiographs
provide the positive diagnosis.
False pregnancy is most commonly seen in
small breeds at any time of age. Once a false
pregnancy hak.,occurred, there is a marked
tendency for it to recur in following heat
periods. When a bitch with a history, of false
pregnancies reaches middle age (five to
eleven years) there seems to be a tendency
towards the two conditions' previously
mentioned (endometrial hyperplasia and
pyometra). •
Treatment
The signs usually regress after two or three
weeks with no treatment. if there is extreme
nervousness and irritability, tranquilizers' may
be used. Various hormones may be used but
the results are unreliable. Exercise and food
intake should be limited to hasten a decrease
in milk production as mastitis is often seen.
The most effective treatment for the condiiton
ovariohysterectomy (spay) after lactation
h ceased:
you are concerned, about pseudo-
ncy and its implications in your dog,
ur veterinarian for advice.

by Jen Durst "The Smoke Tree",
Mrs: E. Hayes, Marion Rose,
Mrs. Roberts.
Mrs. Durst handed me a
hard-covered book hi which she
had clipped out the Gardener's
Creed which 'I had used in one of
my previous Kilbarchan Notes.
She had pasted it in .her book.
She asked me if I would read it
for all to hear: This Creed was
quite fitting to the occasion and J
was pleased to pass it on to those
who had missed reading it. The
'punch' line was "I believe we do
His work when we =Tint and
sow." I'm sure that Jean follows
this Creed in her gardening.

While lined up at the edge of
the neighbouring' tennis court the
