Hey! My dog is lactating and it just started yesterday for the first time. She is on medicines for alopecia. Is it because of medicines?

She is 2.5 years old and her last period was 2 months ago.
Dr. Sharmila Rai
It seems like she is suffering from pseudopregnancy. Its generally seen 1-2 months after heat period. Prevent her from licking her nipples by putting a shirt on her, as licking will stimulate more milk production. If the secretion is severe and other physiological symptoms like aggression/destress is observed then medicine like cabergolin might be required. For permanant elimination of the situation spaying can be considered but after the symptoms have subsided.

Kencha got groomed today from Kuddle and is absolutely loving it! ❤️❤️, and i must say it was an excellent experience with Darshini! Her attention to detail and care for Kencha were remarkable. The bath session left Kencha looking and feeling fantastic. I highly recommend Darshini's services to all pet owners. Thank you for taking such a good care of Kencha.6 likes•1 comments•223 views
