Endocrine disorders in dogs can cause false pregnancy

Endocrine disorders are an important cause of false pregnancy in dogs. After a female dog's estrus cycle ends, regardless of whether she is pregnant or not, her ovaries have begun to produce hormones. These hormones prepare the uterus for the baby and the onset of pregnancy symptoms. If your dog is pregnant, hormones will continue to be produced until shortly before the puppies are born. If she doesn't get pregnant, hormone levels will start to drop after 4-6 weeks. When the amount of progesterone hormone secreted by the corpus luteum in the female dog is equivalent to that during pregnancy, and it exists for too long, false pregnancy will occur.

Reproductive diseases in dogs can cause pseudopregnancy

When the corpus luteum of dogs develops lesions, progesterone hormone secretion will be abnormal, and other diseases such as endometritis, uterine effusion, pyometra, etc. It will lead to abnormal secretion, which will cause false pregnancy in dogs.

The influence of dog diet can cause false pregnancy

In order to make the dog grow up faster, some owners will feed it growth agents or food containing a large amount of estrogen, which will disrupt the hormonal balance in the dog's body.
