Hi! Reccurence of pseudo pregnancy is common in intact female dogs. It does resolve itself in 2-3 weeks. If the symptoms are severe like milk production, aggression etc then medicine like cabergolin can be considered. Spaying the female after the pseudo pregnancy episode is the most effective way to prevent any future recurrence.

If the symptoms are not severe then putting a t-shirt or e collar to prevent her from licking her nipples and discouraging nesting behaviour and providing lots of excercise can help in resolving the issue.

Hi, pseudo pregnancy can be very stressful and if it is happening everytime she comes into estrus I would suggest getting her neutered. If symptoms are really bad there are hormone based treatment, that you can discuss with your veterinary doctor and let the attending doc decide whether or not it's required for her for now.
