    Oh Kate I want to cry every time I think of her looking for pups :'(
    I hope this doesn't last long.... I don't know anything but can she not 'mother' a soft toy or something similar ..? Would that not comfort her? Or is that stupid of me to suggest it ??? X

    Angela, it would make matters worse if Millie was allowed toys to 'mother'.

    So sad to hear that Millie is going through all of this. I hope Sam continues to keep her distracted a bit

    Paul has taken Millie to the Vet this morning as she is now producing milk :( :(
    Our attempted walk had to be cut short as she was crying and wanting to get home , hopefully she can now get some help to cope , all she was doing at the woods was searching and howling , I just thank goodness that we had her and not someone less understanding, poor mite :(

    David has given her Galastop , says it will stop the lactation and help to reduce the other symptoms too . Her spay date should be spot on , she has to have the medication for seven days , he says she should be completely phantom free by the end of the month and her spay date is Jan 3rd , bring it on ::)

    Poor little lass. Last time ever that she has to go through this though, which is such a good thing.

    What was so touching but sad too was that earlier this morning , she came over to Sam who was crashed out on his cushion and began to wash his face , he woke and looked slightly confused by this, but bless him, he didnt move , oh goodness me , they can be so blinking complicated ::)

    Am sad to say that Millie isnt really any better yet, despite the Galastop . The only thing so far is that it appears to have stopped lactation but her behaviour remains the same , still desperate to nurse . We are only half way through the course so are just hoping upon hope that she is better soon , its awful to see a usually happy little dog looking so miserable x

    Oh hugs to Millie. :'( :'( :'( Such a shame for such a lovely little dog (and a normally happy one, thanks to you Kate).

    I know we've all seen this one before, but here she is in all her gorgeous cuteness, on a happy day on the beach. Let's hope she's back to normal soon:
