Do you dread the possibility of a pyometra in your intact female dog?โฃ
โฃ
Becoming more hypervigilant with each season, you're ready to dash to the vets at the first possible sign, and rightly so as ๐ช๐ตโ๐ด ๐ข ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐บ ๐ด๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ฐ๐ถ๐ด ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ช๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ!โฃ

You may also have guilt eating away at you. Where you ๐ฌ๐๐๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ก๐จ๐ข๐๐ to not spay her, but then fear this scary condition all the same.
โฃ
I hear this all the time from my holistically minded clients who know the dangers of desexing dogs. โฃ

Even the World Small Animal Veterinary Association is ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐ ๐ฆ ๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐๐ญ, and urges vets to cease universal neutering practices.โฃ
โฃ
But society as a whole, including professionals and animal guardians, ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ช๐ต๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฆ๐ต.โฃ
โฃ
Which can make it all the more scarier when youโre trying to advocate for your female dog to keep her fully intact but also ๐ฌ๐๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ. โฃ

So that means you can take ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ง๐จ๐ฐ for your female dog, alongside her regular veterinary care.โฃ
