False pregnancy

My 4yr old border collie is experiencing a false pregnancy following her season. She has all the usual symptoms of producing milk, making nests, treating toys as babies and whining a bit. I know it will pass given time but it's been a couple of weeks now. Is there anything I can do at home to help her? I know the best cure for this happening in the future is have her spayed. Easier said than done. Meg has a heart murmur grade 2 managed with medication she was born with it. The vet has said it would be risky with being under a general. So how do we manage these false pregnancies? Any advice would be gratefully appreciated. Many thanks.

Actually, that "phenomenon" happens very rarely, but nevertheless, it is very inconvenient when the vet says that your pet is pregnant, and after a couple of months you realize that it was not like that
