- My husky wants puppies? Do you think Kira the Husky wants to have puppies of her own? Kira experienced what is known as a false pregnancy in dogs , or a phantom pregnancy in dogs. What are the symptoms of a false pregnancy in dogs? Today we show you! This is something that is fairly common in unspayed female dogs. We thought we would take this opportunity to kind of show you what a false pregnancy in dogs looks like. As of the time we are uploading this, Kira is no longer experiencing these symptoms.

Her actions though were kinda cute. Glad she got through it fine and that she will be spayed in some weeks.
They were kinda adorable🥺 but im glad she is good
Kiara is the most sweetest dog! I am happy to know that it is not really bad symptoms.
Yeah.
Good to know about these things. Although we have a male husky, it's still good to learn about what female huskies can go through!
Do you have to worry about male huskies humping random objects if you put of neutering them?
@@NayrbRellimer Not generally. Some dogs have hormone imbalances, but as a general rule, natural hormone levels don't cause any unnatural problems.
I have an intact male who humps occasionally, but nowhere near as much as the neutered male that I had in the past. Often times, humping is just another way to communicate, no different than a play bow or any other behavior. It's often used to get attention when they're feeling ignored, or in my dog's case, he does it to redirect attention from other dogs when they get too rough with/bully my younger dog.
Of course sometimes he also gets horny, but it isn't a constant thing like a lot of people believe.
What to do while your dog thinks she’s has puppy’s?
absolutely no one:
My brain: FOSTER BABYS
Well it isn't uncommon for a phantom pregnancy to be used like that. That's essentially the reason they exist in the first place, to help other mothers raise their puppies. However it's not limited to only puppies, if there's a litter of kittens without their mom, a dog with a phantom pregnancy would be able to take care of them, and even give them milk (they should probably still be fed a proper milk for kittens tho hehe)
@@TheDesiLiter Is it healthy to encourage milk production in a female that hasn't actually given birth though? I know with cows it isn't, so I assumed it would be equally bad for dogs.
Don't phantom pregnancies (and the milk production) increase the risk of breast cancer (or something of the sort) and infections? I thought that was one of the major reasons it's recommended to spay females who frequently have bad phantom pregnancies...?
@@animalobsessed1 I'm trying to remember your entire comment while writing this, so excuse me if I forget something 😅
There is an increased risk of infection if the milk is left in.
Yes its reccomended to spay females who frequently get phantom pregnancies, mainly due to the stress it causes her. Imagine thinking you have puppies and loosing them every 6 months. However, if it's a once in a while ocurrance, there's no harm in it, and you can save a few young lives in the process. If there is no kittens, or puppies without a mom close by, it is not reccomended to keep the phantom pregnancy going. Increased excersise and lower intake of food will speed up the process to make it end. If the female is hit very hard, there's meds you can get from the vet 😊
Edit: about the cows, I'm pretty sure (but do not count me as a reliable source of information) it's unhealthy for them to be milked for the long duration they are milked, year after year with no proper break.
@@TheDesiLiter Yes, overbred dairy cows producing milk every year is always bad for them. (Conventional farming reduces the life span of dairy cows by more than half.) There's more to it though.
I know about the cows because I follow people who keep cows as pets. One of them had two cows that had never raised a calf. When they bought a bull calf, he started suckling on their cows, which triggered them to begin lactating. The owners needed to stop that from happening, because they said it would be unhealthy for them to produce milk without going through the proper reproductive process (pregnancy) first. Their vet told them it would cause the udders to become infected. (With a higher risk than the always-existing risk for dairy cows.)
@@animalobsessed1 could be. Most of my experience with cows are from the industry, as I studied in a farm for a year that sells milk. Unmated cows were never around the calfs, so I never asked about it 😅 comparing completly different animals is no good tho. Dogs stem from wolves who all play a part in raising the pups (that's where the phantom pregnancies come from), while cows mostly keep to their own calfs. They might help protect from dangers, but they don't feed the other calfs.
Edit: is it written calves? 😂
“What your dogs life can and should be like!”
Me: Now, Dixie take this and make it your pup ok?
It's hurting my heart to hear her crying. ❤ Poor baby.
My frenchie went through a phantom pregnancy after her first heat. She became lethargic and really depressed and even started lactating. She ended up losing 10 pounds. She’s doing fine now but just started her second heat. Kinda scared she’s gonna go through another phantom pregnancy :/
Good choice waiting are you going to breed her
Yes, please do more educational videos. You're doing an amazing job with these explaining what's going on, consequences and giving valuable information without judgement. Appreciate those videos!
My girl experienced this just after she got spayed. It’s so cute and only lasts a little while.
As a pre-vet student, education is good
I'm glad that Kira has gotten through her false pregnancy with flying colors.
I had no idea that dogs could experience something like this. Glad it was short lived.
I think it's really important to talk about this kind of thing and to make the distinction between what might seem like cute behaviour and the very real fact that dog breeding should be left to people who will do it properly. It's so important to spay and neuter our pets so they can live their best lives. I'm glad that Kira's symptoms were just false pregnancy and not pyometra, that is seriously scary stuff
Kylem every single dog should be fixed if you're not planning on breeding. it prevents multiple health problems, and accidental litters. dogs can be taken away and get a new home with the wrong people, dogs can run away, etc. there's no reason not to spay and neuter.
@@alyssapavlik2521 The only health problem that removing a uterus prevents, is an infection of the uterus (pyometra) and uterine cancer. (duh!) The only health problem that chopping off testicles prevents, is testicular cancer. (duh!)
By that logic, we should also be removing other body parts, so that those body parts can't be injured either.
The trade-off for removing hormone producing body parts is an increased risk of canine cognitive dysfunction, obesity/lower muscle mass, spay incontinence (duh!), depression, fearfulness/fear aggression, and all manner of other unpredictable behavior consequences, because (and this really shouldn't come as a surprise) hormones influence behavior. Spay coat is also a disadvantage, though it's a less serious problem than those other things.
Spaying/neutering is even worse when people don't wait until their dogs are full grown at around 2 years old (depending on breed), because then you ALSO increase the risk of bone cancer, hip or elbow dysplasia, and early arthritis. (Not surprising, since hormones help with bone growth.) I wouldn't call that "no reason not to spay and neuter". Anyone who claims there is "no reason" clearly hasn't done their research.
Now, whether you consider those risks "worth it" or not, is a different story. Pyometra is indeed a real risk, so maybe avoiding one disaster in favor of another can be considered worth it. Testicular cancer on the other hand, is not a real risk. Treatment success for testicular cancer is extremely high, and thus I'd say there's no doubt, that you'd be trading a low-risk health issue for a bunch of higher-risk issues. That's why it's up to individuals to decide for themselves. Pretending the downsides don't exist, is not the way to go though.
It’s cute seeing her treat the toys like her babies, I’m glad she got through it and is doing good❤️
Until Kira had started going through this, I had no idea it was even a thing, so to hear more about it's really nice, thank you for sharing!
While they were cute her actions taught me a lot. Information like this is valuable and I'd love to see more.
I never had a female dog, so this was very interesting to know. I would absolutely love it if you posted eduction stuff like this video.
Yes I like these types of educational videos. Kira is cute mothering her toys.
More please! Jess you have a gift of providing learning and entertainment at the same time. Love it!
Hi Jess, Jammie,and the girls, Kira is so cute protecting her toys. I have a male Lab who I call the Hoarder dog. He has three other brothers and takes all the toys and hoards them in his bed. Continue to be safe, and keep up the good work.
Great information jess thank you for sharing this I never knew she could go threw this and didn't know this great video definitely a topic that needs to be talked about yes I'd love more education videos
XD my dog is spayed an was after her first heat. and even thoe she is spayed she has on an off phantom pregnancies and even the vet is confused.
Ive had a cat go threw this but Nothing like this.
the vet an i are in nearly constant contact to make sure my dog is healthy.
If you have any ideas i can suggest to the vet please suggest them.
Could be her hormones! I'm not a vet or anything but I know that my Pitbull (who isn't spayed) will have a phantom pregnancy soon after or during my menstrual cycle. She will even produce milk! On average she's gotten a phantom pregnancy 1-2 times a year. She also goes through her regular heat.
If she's only showing the behavioral symptoms (so not lactating), it could be learned behavior. Something she does to deal with stress, too much energy, boredom, over stimulation, etc. I'd try and look for similarities in her situation whenever it happens. Maybe it happens when you're really busy at work, maybe it happens when you travel a lot with the dog, or maybe its triggered by the weather and she doesn't like that weather (so it could be triggered by the stress of constantly experiencing something she doesn't like), or maybe she likes the weather to much (trigger here could be over stimulation, experiencing something she likes too much, over time). These are just examples to give you a few ideas of what to look for. If you can figure out if it has any triggers, you can help your dog avoid them, or teach them how to deal with them 😊
@@JixieGaming any reason she isn't spayed?
@@ShadeMiller I don't know about them specifically, but there are a lot of new research being done on the health of fixed and intact dogs, and theres more and more evidence supporting keeping them intact for their health (spesificly to prevent joint issues and cancer. While fixing them does prevent cancer in their reproductive organs, studies are showing an increased chance of cancer everywhere else). There are even some studies being done on how fixing affects them behaviorally.

This one needs to be downloaded to be read, so just Google it, and a pdf link will pop up.
Here in Norway, fixing healthy dogs is illegal, but we do not have strays, abd we do not have an over population issue. Both of my female dogs (8 and 3 years) are intact, and they will never have puppies simply because I'm a responsible owner. It's really not that difficult when you know how heats work.
Awww kira is playing being a mama
Personally I find it very cute when they are nesting, treating their toys like puppies. My Husky Shira was nearly 1 year old when we were going to get her spayed but she went into her second heat cycle all of a sudden, so we had to postpone the appointment. By the time she was done with her second heat she was starting to act weird. I did some research, consulted my vet and that's when I found out about phantom pregnancy. It was cute at first but it lasted quiet a while for Shira. It wasn't just the nesting anymore but she also had some serious depression. We went on daily walks, which was great, it made her happy but as soon as we got home she was depressed again. We kept trying to play with her but she seemed uninterested, she didn't have much apetite, she didn't even want to play with my cousin's husky then. After 2-3 weeks all the symptoms of the phantom pregnancy were gone and Shira was back to normal. We got her spayed and yet she's still having the phantom pregnancy thing like twice a year. The good thing is that it doesn't last too long anymore and the symptoms are not that bad. Her apetite decreases a bit and she's treating her toys like puppies and is not really in the mood to play. But all this passes in a week or so. Do you think she will "grow out of it" some day?
Very interesting information, even for me and I don't have a dog. Keep the teaching vlogs coming! Also, glad to hear that it didn't last too long and that Miss Kira is feeling better.
As a pregnant lady I found this unbelievably cute, i have ferret children and im definitely coddling them and stuff way more since getting pregnant must be the hormones 🤣
Thank you for sharing! Our Labrador experienced a phantom pregnancy when we first got her and it was all new for me (worried me a lot) thankfully our vet explained it to us and when she returned to her normal self we got her spayed
I wonder what Memphis is thinking of the entire thing?
I do wonder this, as well. She seemed (from the clip) thinking, "What are you doing, puppy?" That's just a guess, though.
for someone who had dogs for long time,actually,i've never heard of this until now (well,basically my family only have male dogs 😕). this is really educational ❤
Thank you for always giving good information.
Thank you for taking the time to pass on information
This is super interesting and educational! Thanks for uploading and telling us about Kiras toy-pups
Yes! Please do more videos like this!
Thanks for educating us on this issue. Kira was so cute.
Omg I haven’t heard that version of the outro song in YEARS. Reminds me of when I first started watching
You guys are such good doggie parents! Your girls are lucky to have a great mom and dad!
One of my girls had a phantom pregnancy after her first heat, and she had pretty moderate symptoms. Our vet told us to not allow her to nest and hoard her toys - we had to take them off her. We did not want to go the route of hormones if we didn't have to.
Why is it bad to allow them to nest? Just curious...mine did this a few weeks ago during her first heat but it only happened on one night
@@devsingh4443 Nesting during a heat is completely different to nesting during a phantom pregnancy. Our vet said that allowing her to exhibit the behaviours would prolong the phantom pregnancy, hence not allowing her to.
@@devsingh4443 It makes the symptoms last longer.
Aww poor Kira.. Breaks my heart her whining. I learned something from this.
Thank you! It’s awesome to see responsible pet owners
very useful and educational thanks for this information.
Awesome and informative. I also challenge you guys to a magic game...I saw that binder 😎👍
Thank you for the information about everything awesome and sweet video
I’ve never watched your videos or heard of your channel. I read the title and instantly thought “no. She doesn’t.” Because I thought you were breeding her lol. Glad I watched this so I wouldn’t be mad at your channel for the rest of my life😂😂
My dog I rescued a year ago was in the middle of her second heat when we picked her up. She exhibited some of these symptoms, the most concerning being bleeding that should have stopped by that point. She ended up having pyometra. We already had her on the books to get spayed, but it became an emergency spay at that point. Definitely scary! As Jess said, don't be alarmed, but be aware
My 2 year old dog Just had puppies and we got to keep one! I decided to make a TH-cam channel for her and so far it’s going great! Your videos are always so fun to watch! Thank you!
Awww so swee the actions she’s going through bless her 😍🥰🥰 Paw Bumps from Orions 💙🐾
Good informative video
Hi I love your videos I've been watching you for about 5 years
Your husky is really so cute....This is the first video I've watched of yours and now am a big fan of them❤
Haha that's so funny! I had my girl do the same thing before she was spayed. She'd constantly cry and carry one specific toy around then nest all the time. It was something i had never dealt with before, though it didn't last but a couple of weeks. I enjoyed the time where she became suddenly clingy though and had wanted to sleep close with me. It was a very odd experience.
Kira is so cute and adorable!!
Kira grew so much :D
My shepherd (my first dog and currently only dog) has pyrometra after her first season and we had no clue as she’s our first dog and she is EXTREMELY good at hiding any pain which can be a nightmare at times! She’s fine now thankfully but we only took her in on precaution as she didn’t seem 100% and it was one of the worst cases they’d seen. They reckon she wouldn’t have lived to the Monday and it was Saturday night so very terrifying! It’s most common in dogs 6 years + but a lot of the people who had the same issue I’ve spoken to nearly always happened when their dogs were young so don’t be fooled like we nearly were. We’re very lucky and grateful Amys still here ❤️
Kira is just the cutest! I love her so much!!
Very good info
Yes! : D pls do another video like this
Kira is cute nesting with her toys. Keith and I let our Shih Tzu go through her first heat. She did get pregnant and she didn't want to be a Mom. I took care of Sweetie her baby. (2 boys died at birth). Tiffany the Mom only lived to 7yrs had gotten cancer and we were told never let your dogs get pregnant in their first heat. We were told it's like a teenager being pregnant. Keith was devastated 😢! Tiffany was his girl. My heart was 💔 . Never again, will get my females and males fixed. Thank you for your information 💁♀️. So important! Joan Bates
Awww bless her,glad she got through it, and will be getting spayed soon
Great video
My Cocker went through this June-August. Went on for 60+ days.
I remember watching this
?
Dog Paw Plays it was in a vlog
Wh-
Stay safe ❤️ :D
Aww I love the dogs and will always love you guys
So sweet. All of my female cats went through heat before I had them spayed. They rolled around on the floor making quite a racket. It was pretty bad I thought. Kira just wants to be a mom.
Fascinating! We have a 17 week old female Siberian. Our vet recommended we wait until she goes through her first heat cycle as well, for health reasons. I’ve never had a dog before (my husband is the experienced dog owner) so I had no idea waiting to spay/neuter was ever a thing you would want to do but I trust our vet completely so I didn’t question it or research it. Thank you so much for sharing this information, I’ll definitely do some reading up on both conditions mentioned. I’d love any videos you were willing to make on these sort of things ❤️
Two years would be more ideal than first heat. They will be developed completely and be "adult dogs"
Girl dogs will turn into Houdini when they go into heat and do whatever they can to get to a male. Please be careful, I get the health benefits of waiting but so risky for unwanted litters
mrspaisley1 We have an intact male dog next door, he’s a Frenchie so I can’t imagine how that would even work but I am absolutely not taking chances. She’s is on leash and watched 24/7 because she’s still a nosy puppy so it won’t be any problem to keep her that way until she’s spayed. No escape!!
My grandma's husky did have this happen.
She was spade as she would become really protective over her fake puppies but to the point were she bit my cousin and uncle as they would take her toys away.
It did case both of them getting stitches but since being fixed she hasn't had that has
So cute
My female husky went through this with a chewbacca stuff animal . Miss her rip . This is informational people should know this . It freaked me learning about false pregnancy .
Your so close to 1m!
Hi Jess Kira is so cute I hope she gets well soon
Absolutely adorable though. I have a cat who would run by carrying her stuffed kitten which was almost as big as her. She would wash it, play with it and sleep with it but only randomly. It certainly seemed like a mothering instinct.
Omg so close to 1 mil! ;o
Aww I love her
When you do an educational video about the spaying, can you cover the types and pros and cons on the different types of spaying such as the removal of the uterine horns (ovariectomy) or the uterus (ovariohysterectomy)?
I was also kind of hoping you'd explain why you were waiting until after her first heat.
Is it so she'd finish physically maturing first before you cut off those hormones that aid in proper and regular growth?
Thank you.
It's in order to make sure that the dog is done growing. Waiting a year or two to spay insures that growth plates are fully formed as well as all the hormones needed when growing up get the job done well. If that makes sense.
I enjoy learning about anything about animals especially dogs
The thumbnail made me laugh and awwwwwwwww
Hi, I know it’s a bit early but will you be starting your Halloween treats soon? Like, October, lol I know this I nothing to do with this video but just asking , ( Halloween is one of my favourite holidays)
Oh Kira... XD Glad she didn't have it too badly! We got Terra when she was already spayed, so we never experienced this. BUT Terra does play mommy with our cats. She'll lick their privates to clean them (much to their chagrin!) and go check on them if they're making any distressing noises, refereeing them during playtime if they get too rough... It's really funny to watch. Anywho, thanks for the wonderful info, Jess! Hugs and love from a very smoky California!
Our dog Tasha just had pyometra in June and she is an older dog surgery was expensive!but she's doing good now
Yeah, been here with this issue except my neutered male dog decided to "mother" a bunch of baby rabbits. He'd bath and "potty" them just like puppies.
Pyometra is no joke and very scary almost lost my dog to it..if it wasnt for my friend actually losing her dog I would of never known about this and been even more devastated because I was uneducated about it.
My Springer had a phantom pregnancy and she actually started producing milk. We think its because she loves her toys so much and thinks of them as her 'babies'...she has probably over 100 toys..
That heppened with my toy poodle, Was a nightmare, she went into "labor" that lested for hours until all the imaginary puppies were born.. Then she would take care of one or two toys as her babies, for weeks, One day she would start losing interest in the puppies and eventually stopped beeing a"mom".
It only stopped when we finally got her fixed. This was over 15 years ago.
I love these videos!! I'm not getting notifications for this channel at the moment it's so frustrating!! Normally i can unsubscribe and resubscribe and that helps, but for some reason that's not working!!
My dogs getting spayed right now haha
My chihuahua did this thanks for sharing
This makes me think of my dog named Ruby, she’s a female snuggly pit-bull. She was young and had to were a Diaper because of ya know- but she looked really funny and so I said “She’s a big baby!!” Anyways she’s a really good dog!!
My ECS went thru false pregnancy every season. I never spayed her bc I showed her. She had a squeaky toy of Tom, from Tom n Jerry, that she treated as her puppy every time this happened. We made sure the other dogs didn't mess with Tom, she carried him around, nested under the bed with him and eventually stopped after a week or so. It was interesting. We'd ask "where's your puppy?" & she'd get in your lap with him!
Hi kira and baby Memphis love you sooo much
Who got here from keys channel? I already knew your channel before so it’s really good
We didn't plan for this to happen, but my pitbull will get phantom pregnancies every now and then and she was going through one whenever we got our husky puppy named Diego. We actually got him a little too early, but we decided to because he was already separated from his parents. So they both natural clung to each other & my pitbull thinks she has a baby husky! (He's a little over one years old now so their relationship evolved more into a little brother/big sister one)
My husky does this after a season, usually within a month or two of it finishing
My dad’s old pitbull would take the baby ducks and baby kittens she found around the farm and take them back to her “nest” and treat them as her puppies. It’s very sweet but sometimes it can be really sad if they’ve lost puppies the reaction can be more sad than cute.
Our husky puppy Stella (she turned 1 in June) experienced this exact same thing a few weeks before she was spayed. I think it really lasted about 2 weeks, but tapered off pretty quickly. We had Stella spayed in April, and she hadn’t had her first heat yet, but I think it was coming because of the symptoms she had. But we never experienced this with our other 2 huskies.
Lol she is so cute!
Aww hi ❤️✨
Kira is so cute.
cute margie
My family had 2 bullmastives, a Long Fured light tanned Female, and a Short Fur Dark Redish/Brown Male, they both mated and had 2 litters of puppies of 12 for each 1, but both litters lost 1 puppy from being on the bottom of the puppy pile and dieing from suffocation, and because of having a lot of puppies some of them had to Bottle Feed, oh and both of the parents were Purebred Bullmastives [Note: they had the 2ed litter a few years after the first 1]
Did you experience this with Memphis before she was fixed?
My parents didn’t spay the female dogs I grew up with and they got Pyometra back to back. Thankfully when the older one got it, we knew right away and could get her treated much faster. They both pulled through but I would never not spay any female dogs I own after that ordeal.
