MY DASCHUNDS STOMACH

19 17:10:43

Question
I know this shounds crazy, but my daschund is 1 year old, and just finished going into heat about 2 months ago, but now she looks as though she just gave birth, her stomach is REALLY hanging to the ground....please help explain this????

Answer
She could be experiencing a false pregnancy.  If you plan on getting her spayed (which is healthier for her and there are many unwanted dogs in rescue), make an appointment at your vet and she/he can check her over and tell you for sure.  Best wishes are going her way and yours!  Never hestiate to at least call your vet for advice/opinions.
