False preg after a few days of being spayed?

[Goodnight]

So we had Bailey spayed last week, thursday, and on Sunday eveing she started packing her toy around and whining. Hiding it and making her a bed... sleeping in someone else bed she when she never even goes in that room.... she wont leave my side. I am not sure what to think... I ve been reading some and maybe her body thinks she had puppies???

One of my girls did some of those exact same things. She would take all of the toys she could get her hands on, plus anything else she seemed to deem a puppy (socks, bones, etc.) and pack them in her bed. She was constantly carrying them and shifting them around and whimpering and crying the whole time. She seemed very stressed about it.

We talked to our vet, and decided to take her in. He wanted to make sure she wasn't lactating. You can check yourself before you call by squeezing one of her nipples to see if anything comes out. They stimulate the production of milk by licking their teets (?) and he advised us to wrap her so she couldn't get to them...and take away all of the "babies" and nest items.

I was worried about traumatizing her, but she got over it in about an hour and went back to her normal self. Because she wasn't doing a lot of licking and wasn't lactating much we didn't end up having to wrap her.

Has she already been through a heat cycle? Mine was a rescue so she was almost 10 mos old by the time she was spayed, so she'd had at least one already.

Good luck! I know it's hard to see them like that.

Thanks for the info!!

yes Bailey has been though heat about a month ago... or a little over. she is 14 months old... today is a little better, she is asleep by my side with out toys.... ) It is hard to see her act this way and we did see a hint of herself last night, so I am really hoping this will pass... she doesnt have any milk as far as I can tell and no licking...not even the stiches... so we are good there...How long did your girl go though this???
