How to stop my female yorkie from lactating during a false pregnancy??

I have a 3 year old female yorkie...she has recently came in to heat and now she has a false pregnancy. She has not been within contact with a male dog so she can't be pregnant. Here mammary glands are swollen and she has begun to leak milk from them. Is there anything I can do or anything to give her OTC for her to stop lactating?? I am taking her in November to get spayed. PLEASE HELP!!!How to stop my female yorkie from lactating during a false pregnancy??
I have had chihuahuas go thru this as well. They usually dry up on their own within a couple of weeks. You will probably see her ';mothering'; a stuffed animal or blanket or something of that sort. They get kind of depressed too and need lots of extra loving during this time. You could ask the vet about something to help stop the milk, but like I said it usually tajes care of it by itself within a week or 2. You could call the local shelter and ask if they have abandoned kittens or small pups that need a foster mom. One of my chihuahuas fostered 6 pups when she had a false pregnancy.How to stop my female yorkie from lactating during a false pregnancy??
Hi, Most importantly you must not start squeezing at her teats as this will make her body think that she needs to produce milk, all you can do is to leave them alone keep her company, dont make a big issue from it with her and try not to let he nest, as this is allowing her to think that babies are on their way.


hope this helps.
