Abstract:
Pyometra is a potentially fatal condition with a wide range of severe sequelae, including sepsis, septic shock, peritonitis, and widespread bacterial infection. Pyometra is more frequently affects middle-aged to old bitches and hormonal and bacterial factors are fundamental in the pathogenesis of the disease. Ultrasonography and vaginal cytology are basic diagnostic procedures that aid in disease differentiation. Surgical ovariohysterectomy is the safest and most successful therapy for pyometra because it eliminates the source of infection and avoids recurrence. In younger and healthy breeding animals with open cervix pyometra and no additional uterine or ovarian diseases, medical (pharmacologic) therapy may be an option.
