pseudoprenhez

Most of the female dogs created in groups and reproductive females in kennels, they are subject do her pseudoprenhez when, in those places, female dogs live together with brood and female dogs without brood. However, that hormonal unbalance, nowadays very common due, mainly, the modern feeding with addictive as hormones, conservantes and other, it can attack a female dog created isolated, in apartment, without some contact with other female dogs. Female dogs submitted to a sterile mating can also develop that pathology. Therefore, the pseudoprenhez happens previously in any independent occasion of the female dog's fact was mother or no, in the way how it is treated or of the atmosphere in that he/she lives. 

That phenomenon show the first signs of its presence after the season, more specifically among to 8th and 9th weeks after the fertile period, and the symptoms can come complete, with evident physical signs as the abdominal distention and the increase of the uterus or just with the development of the glands you would suck and the nursing. The milk produced by their teats is practically the same as that produced after a pregnancy. Some female dogs present such incredible alterations of behavior that, if he/she has crossing history, it can be confused in fact with a true pregnancy. However, if at the end of the period of “gestation” there is not the childbirth, the x-ray can show the absence of fetuses clearly and I diagnose him/it is done. In those cases, in that there is crossing history, the ultrasound scan is, now, the way easiest and fast of doing a differential diagnosis between gestation and pseudociese, what favors the treatment for the precocity with that can begin the medication.

So much the female dog that coupled as the female dog that didn't couple can present the same symptoms comportamentais when they have the pseudociese: them if they turn restless, nervous, and even in some cases, hysterical. They begin hiding for the songs, they build nests, and they acquire a characteristic maternal behavior, the times adopting eraser bugs, puppets, shoes and, many of them show to a typical maternal aggressiveness in defense of the nest. Those female dogs should be respected and treated as if they were really with nestlings, and she try to avoid him/it stimulate his/her aggressiveness. The female dogs can stop feeding well and it ties fast, what can be good for the chubbiest, but extremely harmful for the thinest.

For some proprietors the pseudociese is quite unpleasant and harmful to the family routine, however, other proprietors get to tan that “madness” of his/her female dog appreciating his/her fact to adopt the most unusual objects as it creates.  

However, the pseudociese is always undesirable and he/she brings the short and medium period severe damages the health of the animal. Therefore, all of the therapeutic providences should be taken to treat the crisis and to prevent others.  

The therapy with drugs is controversial. Many mention the application of hormones as being effective, others advise the female dog's crossing in the next rut to avoid other occurrences. Some take advantage to use that female dog as owner of milk. 

The homoeopathic treatments to correct the hormonal unbalances are soft and safe, contributing to the cure of that problem without side effects, but it is necessary persistence and patience. The choice medicine for most of the cases of pseudoprenhez is Pulsatilla and the Lac caninum. 

In the fitoterapia we have many herbs capable to exercise beneficial effects to the feminine reproductive system and to minimize the symptoms that appear due to a hormonal unbalance and we can use them in combination with vitamins and minerals for that purpose with a lot of success. 

Following the line diagnóstica that those unbalances are due, in his/her great majority, to you factor nutritional, we should think about the prevention as the best road for us to liberate ourselves of the possibility of such pathology.

Of the natural point of view, we should prevent the pseudociese in female dogs from little opting for the feeding with rations of the highest quality and supplying them the necessary nutrients for a good hormonal operation. Minerals and vitamins are part of the synthesis of hormones, they sweep free radicals and they participate actively of the animal metabolism, contributing to form females capable to play his/her part in the reproduction without any problem. 

The surgery of sterilization of the female with the retreat of the ovaries would be the definitive solution, but that implicates in the emergence of some sequels for deficiency of hormones, that can and they should be outlined with fitoterapia or with the homeopathy, being used begins her, in an including way, Aristolochia clematitis
