sikastag_1 689 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 There a tablet that sorts it out mate, can't remember the name of it, best just take her to the vets mate and get it, it ain't good for the dogs carrying milk. Quote Link to post
echo 24 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 The milk will dry up on it;s own.She will have a phantom pegancy after every season.It really drags them down and can takes ages for the hormones to settle down.The vet will probably advise you to get her spayed 3 months after her season,if the milk has gone by then.

loumic 47 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 If you go to your vet and ask for galastop, I have just used it on my lurcher bitch after having pups. Quote Link to post

skycat 6,173 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Jeez! All these mad old wives recipes for drying a bitch up> epsom salts simply dehydrates the bitch, galastop does the same, and as for asprin: thins the blood as not bad as a pain killer, but for drying up milk: the mind boggles. Most bitches start to milk up around 5-6 weeks after the end of a season, around the time when, had they been pregnant, the pups are starting to show. Expect the milk situation to stay like this until the imaginary pups are around 3-4 weeks old! Nothing gets rid of the milk entirely except for the natural change in hormone production, but the only thing I have found to be any use, without damaging the bitch, is Urtica Urens 3c. It is a gentle homeopathic remedy which will not affect the bitch in any way, and it really does work, providing you follow the instructions properly. It is important not to touch the pills with your hands, and just tip them into the bottle lid, and then down the dog's throat BETWEEN meals, not straight after or before feeding.

Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 My bitch had her first season a few months ago and there is or looks like the milk has gone hard it's like a hard lump the same size as your little finger behind her nipple if any ones got any ideas how to shift it thanks Theres no delicate way to put this... Is it hot around that area? Quote Link to post
honey badger 42 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I've not noticed but I will check and let you know cheers Quote Link to post
vixen 528 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I have always found with my bitches over the years that the best method for clearing up the milk is plenty exercise,( more than normal) and slightly cut down food, most treatments are a minor dehydration to clear the milk but i have never used any of them,symptoms have always gone away on their own. Honey badger............how long has the lump been there? if there is one lump and it is hot and swollen and sore on the bitch to touch then i'd get her checked out for an abscess Quote Link to post
