If a dog has a false pregnancy?

Does the temperature still drop pre-whelping time? and do they still drain clear mucous at whelping time?

(yes I know the vet can tell, but was just curious if these changes occur with a false pregnancy,,,,along with milk production, nesting behavior etc)

Update:

Ok,,,I have my answer 100%.....It's yes they can drop their temp at whelping time with a false pregnancy. My girls xray at the vet proved today that this can happen with no puppies present.

Thanks all!!

    I doubt it, but if you're worried as to whether or not your female is pregnant or having a false pergnancy, you should take her to the vet to make sure she's pregnant and none of the pups are dead inside of her. And get her spayed so she doesn't get pregnant again.

    i would take her to the vet to be sure it is false. but my cocker spaniel as a kid had a false pregnancy and she had all the syptoms even took over the odd sock basket and nested in it, then treated and protected the socks like they were pups!

  • she maybe was pregnant but it problably died
