Abstract:
Pyometra is a condition characterized by accumulation of pus within the uterus. Canine Pyometra can be categorized based on status of cervix as open cervix or closed cervix. Pyometra is a potentially life threatening condition associated with cystic endometrial hyperplasia. Cystic endometrial hyperplasia is an abnormal uterine response that develops during diestrus when there is high or prolonged ovarian production of progesterone. Bacterial origin can be traced by most common presence of E. Coli along with endotoxins. Pyometra can be diagnosed by Physical examination, clinical examination, radiography and USG. For treatment of pyometra combination therapy of aglepristone and cloprostenol over 15 days has been reported safe and effective with few side effects. Other than medicinal therapy surgical treatment ovariohysterectomy is the preferred treatment for pyometra.
