Phantom Pregnancy is when your dog shows all the signs of being pregnant, lactation, gaining of weight, loss of heats, all the symptoms and signs of being pregnant. This is most likely simply a maternal instinct or a need for companionship. How old was she when she was taken from her mom? Chances are she's just needs a suckie like some kids do.
