?? Doesn’t mean the Beagle isn’t spayed. But what has “nursing” another species have to do with “having a litter”?

She does appear to be actually lactating, if you look at her nipples (and read the article), but I’ve heard of limited cases of that being triggered *just* by suckling and the accompanying behaviours. Apparently in some animals it’s enough to trigger lactation hormones.

We’ve got a long-spayed calico who comfort-nurses a year and a half old “kitten” she’s decided is her son. Silly big lummox...at least she isn’t lactating, that we know of, but it makes em both happy sooo.....
