Hello - My female American bully was diagnosed with pseudo pregnancy a couple of weeks ago and took some medications. There is still milk leaking and inflammation on her breasts. They also appear to be very firm. Is this a serious issue? Kindly reply at the earliest.

Ok. But also follow the following instructions. 1. For the next 7 days, don't feed water b/w 10 pm to 8 am. 2. Remove milk from mammary glands today (only today) 3. Give cold compression using ice cubes, for 5 minutes, 3 times a day for 7 days. 4. Avoid touching the mammary glands/nipples as it might lead to secretion again and again. 5. Use neck cone or Elizabethan collar to avoid licking and biting (this avoids secretion and secondary bacterial infection).

Once it settles down, take her to a vet and plan for neutering as the problem might reappear (if not neutered).
