Has anyone had a pregnant bitch that exhibits strange and out of character behaviour.My bitch is possibly into her 4th week of pregnancy and has started to eat mud and gravel off our driveway.She also sits for ages in the paddock just staring up at the sky in a complete dream state.Quite weird really!!!!

awwww bless!. :) :).

here is a news flash: YOUR DOG IS PREGNANT! give her a break.

Jerry,no need to be rude.i was just asking what other people had experienced

sarcasm is the lowest form of wit :)

go play on another site jerry. :(.

I must admit when I was pregnant I did similar things!!!

you ate mud and gravel?? :D :D :D .

is it not dangerous to eat gravel and stones

possibly speak to your vet. eating gravel will surley do her no good.

actually, you should be concerned with the eating of gravel. talk to your vet.

lel: how many times a day do you post? this forum is bordering a life style for you.

It IS my life - ;)
Dont think its just me either :rolleyes:

Mine too - and I've never known you to spout drivel, Lel!

Thanks JG ;)
Although I have to tear myself away next week as I am back at work - boohoo :(

i am not stupid enough to let her swallow it,i am with her when she is outside and distract her with alternative nibbles. that phase is disappearing and she seems to be sleeping alot!!

... but you are stupid?

Why am i stupid Gerard??If you make comments like that back them up with something to say!!! My dog is well cared for,trained and is given the best of everything and she attempted to eat gravel but i dont let her near it anymore.So why am i stupid?? and my previous response was to Jerry who was rude,and no one else.

take no notice of Gerard

hey... you said it: "i'm not stupid enough..." which leads me to infer that while you are not "stupid enough" - you are in fact stupid. and i'm willing to bet that you are also white and overweight. i'm good aren't I? :)

Gerard, it's time for your medication. Here it comes, open wide ....... there, that's better isn't it? Now back to your "room" for a little rest. Come along.

lol JG :)

Gerard,i am an optometrist,get a dictionary dear if you dont know what one of those is!! SO HOW CAN I BE STUPID??Why are you on this forum when all you do is BE RUDE!!

back to the original question---as your bitch is now sleeping all the time it looks like the signs are good, is she clingy and very affectionate too ????????

Hi dizzy,today is day 29 in her pregnancy,her boobies have gone a deep red/brown colour and her rear set have drooped slightly into a triangle shape.Her waistline has not expanded but her ribcage has widened considerably,and on a couple of days she had a thick sticky cream coloured discharge.She is very clingy and i cannot leave her or she whines and howls.I am now onto the gin as recommended by jeangenie.hic!! thanks to all of you that had something nice to say.The owner of the stud has just told me that their friends neo bitch had a phantom pregnancy,which was absolutely identical to a normal pregnancy.now im worried!!!

arent you going to have her scanned, then youd no for sure ??? it sounds as though she is, ive only ever had one phantom bitch , she didnt get clingy as such, just depressed, and shed get bigger boobs but but rosey pinky ones, and never got the stringy discharge that a pregnant bitch has, ----i think from the description yours is, -good luck and keep us up to date./

dearest dizzy,my fluffy cup cake.---My girlie is having a scan on thursday,if i go to him its only £20 so i thought what the heck,saves me the tension of waiting!!

Gerard - thats very strange because that would have been my descrition of YOU - overweight and stupid ( with emphasis on the stupid)

please take no notice of gerard...you will see if you care to search for previous postingsthat he/she never has anything useful to say! oh and btw"gerard" v "jerry lundegard", one and the same i take it....

I think you're right, pinklilies. They are remarkably similar in style. Unfortunately.

Hey girls hope ur all ok was just reading the post seems we have a few grumpy old men eh.
well just ignore them there probably going threw the male menopause , and have nothin better to do then morris dance on a sunday, all they do the rest of the week is reply and hope to upset someone. well whats the colour of her gotta do with anythin ?ummm racism aye. well i hope the boad will have less of that!
Girls keep ur chin up and boys if u aint got nothin nice to say dont say it. rember what ur mummy said!
Byeeeee xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:)

Don't think they have even reached the Kevin stage, years to go before the menopause, should they be lucky enough to live that long, which I doubt if they don't mend their manners.
