my 2yr old basset hound has been having a phantom pregnancy and she seems to be starting to get mastitis i have had a hot water bottle on the area and drained some milk as i read on a few Internet vet sites thats what you should do is there anything else that i can do and will it be ok until the morning as i don't have any transport to get to my vets till the morning

Antibiotics are the best treatment, they should help clear it within 24hours.

I would have been restricting her water intake with the phantom to help the milk dry up, no nesting or dwelling on 'puppies'
