If you know the name of that medicine, you could ask your current vet to prescribe that for your dog.

As to why vets don’t give out that medicine as you stated depend on various factors. Not all vets conform to one type of medication to treat one illness. Vets give out specific medications to treat any illness base on their understanding of that drug use, how the patient would react to that drug, philosophy, and ethical code (if it’s called for).

TIM – You’re kidding me, right? Your comment is unfounded, unnecessary and rude.

Let’s take a logical and educated approach to this since that’s what you obviously prefer…

The definition of “uneducated” is simple. It’s the lack of or absence of an education. To further define this word, we must then define the word “education.”

I’ll try to be open minded here as best I can. Who knows, maybe there’s some definition of education I wasn’t aware of and I learn something and realize you’re absolutely right. Or, God forbid, maybe I’m also uneducated and therefore I’m incapable of understanding your intellectual use of words. Geez, don’t tell my Father that. He footed half of the tab for my college education, and that would really piss him off.

Anyways, according to numerous online dictionaries, education can be defined as any of the following:

1) Activities that impart knowledge or skill – Are you telling me that she did nothing to gain this knowledge? An activity implies action, so maybe she sat on the coach and it just came to her while eating bonbons? Doubtful

2) Knowledge acquired by learning and instruction – Are you saying that she didn’t “acquire” this knowledge and was just born with it? Doubtful

3) The gradual process of acquiring knowledge – Maybe she inserted a disk into her brain and instantly downloaded all of this knowledge thereby invalidating it as “education” because her knowledge acquisition wasn’t “gradual”? Doubtful

4) One definition has the ignorance to define education as “the result of good upbringing.” That’s insulting and I won’t insult you by believing that was your criteria for awarding her the title of “uneducated.”

I’m left to assume that your only basis for making the pompous, uninformed, and baseless statement that she’s uneducated is due to one incorrect word in her article, “sprayed.”

You cannot tell me that you’re naive enough to believe she misspelled this word. That’s ludicrous considering she’s probably typed/written that word thousands of times based on her subject matter of expertise. Have you never heard of a typo? Have you never had a typo of your own that you failed to catch when proof reading? If that were the criteria in order to be called educated, I would definitely be stuck in the remedial class. Missing a typo has nothing to do with intelligence or education, it’s common human error.

Regardless of reality and what’s true and what isn’t, to claim that the author is “rather uneducated” based on one word out of thousands that she’s written is pure snobbery!

In stating someone is uneducated, you’re implying that you believe yourself to be “educated,” in essence you perceive yourself as superior. Whether that is your belief or what you intended to reflect, that is how I perceived your comment.

I don’t understand the motivation for posting a comment that lacked content or that was relevant to the subject matter. Comments on blogs or in forums are meant for the purpose of carrying on a constructive conversation or adding additional information to the subject, or anything that adds value to another reader. Yes, pointing out the error I’m sure will benefit that one in a million person who would have come along and believed she really meant sprayed and then hauled their female dog to the backyard for a good soaking with the hose. Considering the odds, does that justify wasting space on a blog she’s put countless hours and care to create and build. Unless you post your PhD in Higher Education, you have no credibility or expertise to make such a statement. Opinion with little to no fact or first hand knowledge is often called ignorance.

Before I forget, you should know commonly known and practiced netiquette states that anything written in all capital letters means that the writer is yelling those words. Yelling wasn’t necessary. I would have gotten your point loud and clear without it and it might have saved the headache I now have.

The bottom line is you’ve sullied her blog by defaming her and questioning her intellect. Your comment is a trivial, insignificant, unfounded and therefore is irrelevant. When one makes a statement that belittles another, especially with no basis and for no gainful cause, the only plausible motivation for doing so would be to prop up their ego by convincing themselves and hopefully others that they’re superior. I’m sorry if that’s true, but I still say check your snotty attitude at the door or move on! You’re polluting a website that provides a valuable service, an educational opportunity, and a positive environment to learn in. That’s not always the easiest thing to find these days.

p.s. I’m sure I’ve got a typo in this comment or possibly even a word misspelled. It’s late, I’m tired, and I’m human. Feel free to also call me uneducated if you’re inclined to do so. We do have freedom of speech regardless of its truth.

I have a intacked male as well. ( hes fine)
She was in heat app~ 3 months ago her nipples are starting to sag again. I am at a loss, so is the vet. could this just be a false pregnancy, anxiety? Could she be feeding of my depression?
I am massaging and applying warm washcloths to her teets just in case.
she is not exhibiting ANY sign except for her boobs, and the throwing up.
All she relly does is lie there and look at me with longing eyes something is not right and I cant afford to take her to the vet anymore this month for sure……
If anyone has any advice please reply Thank you………..

When was her last heat before the spay? Had she experienced false pregnancy before? If you spayed her too close to or during her heat and she had mild signs of false pregnancy syndrome, there’s a possibility she “will” experience false pregnancy again.

Since she’s already been spayed, you can’t re-spayed her! What you could do is follow these suggestions here. Also, keep a close watch on her milk production. If it gets too much, have a vet check on her.

Having said all these, you shouldn’t worry too much. These signs will soon fade off…eventually. It does take a while for her to get accustomed to her “new” reproductive system.
