hi, has anyone gone through phantom pregnancy dogs? how to treat it without medication and if any medication is available in the market, how to buy then

Thankfully none of my girls suffered with this.  I had a neighbour whose bitch did, and the only thing to be done was to get her spayed.  That stopped all that.

You might ask your vet for something to help scatter any milk she may be producing but really as this will pull her down, the best answer is to spay.

thankyou @mamabas

A phantom pregnancy is a normal part of a bitch's hormone cycle - some have them very mildly (just act a bit subdued for a while) but others get thoroughly miserable, produce lots of milk, adopt items as substitute babies and can get very temperamental. Most are somewhere in between.

The old-fashioned treatment is to reduce their food (to discourage milk production) and increase their exercise and general busy-ness so that they don't have time to mope. Also take away any items that she believes are her puppies. There is a prescription medication called Galastop that your vet can prescribe that can help reduce severe symptoms. She can be spayed when there are absolutely no signs of hormonal activity, but not until then.

Raspberry leaf tablets (herbal) -but you have to give them from the day the season starts until 3 weeks later. I did find that worked for my Poodle, who had terrible phantoms which really depressed her. She was spayed recently, needed Galastop before it could be done. I'm glad it's finally over as it was awful to have so badly affected.

Phantom pregnancy is a normal part of a dog's cycle (hormonally). All dogs' hormones are the same at this point, whether they have been bred or not - so the dog doesn't know it is a 'phantom' - their hormones are exactly the same as if they were pregnant.

The kindest way to deal with it, is actually to allow the dog to 'nurse' some soft toys and to believe she has babies for a while. It will pass when her hormones change again.

If it is a severe one, to the point of producing milk, then usually it will only get more intense each time. Spaying will stop it, but really be aware of the drawbacks to spaying and permanent removal of hormones....

My old Lab had a phantom after her first season. Nothing very noticeable behaviourally but she was producing milk.

I keep hearing that once they’ve had a phantom it only gets worse, but Summer never experienced it again.

This is the 3rd forum today where this person is asking the same question.
It is almost as if she does not believe that  a false pregnancy is quiet normal/natural event for entire females. It is not an illness and if it is managed sensibly and no milk is expressed (which can cause mastitis) it will end by itself. No veterinary treatment or drugs should be required. It does not always happen every time, and often never again.
.

It is actually  a survival strategy, so that other pack members can help the Alpha raise the pups.

Every bit h will have variations of a phantom pregnancy, most signs are missed by us as they are so slight.
If the bitch is mothering toys I remove them, up exercise and reduce food. If she is producing milk and it's bad then Galastop from the vets.
I've tried herbal remedies and none have worked for mine.

It is a hormone driven natural occurance in wild wolf & non domestic canines, however as Professor Dave Mech discovered(along with other experts in wild on domesticated candids)there are no Alpha males or females only a breeding pair & the breeding female produced a pheromone that suppresses the ovulation in their offspring that comprise the "pack"

Most non domestic candids are fully weaned by around 4 weeks
