Question about my pet

Question
I have a 1 1/2 year Brindle PitBull, Female and she has never had any pups, but has huge boobs and sucks on them herself. What could be causing this to happen? How can we get her to stop?

Answer
You need to get her spayed. This will help with the hormone issues she is having. The sooner you do it, the sooner she will stop and her chances of getting breast cancer will also go down.

She will eventually cause herself some nasty abscesses doing this and it is because she is having mothering instincts and hormone issues.

So get her spayed as soon as you can before her next heat.
