PYOMETRA: A LIFE THREATENING EMERGENCY
Pyometra is a serious infection of the uterus that commonly affects unspayed female dogs and cats. It can progress rapidly and become life-threatening if not treated immediately.
⚠️ Common Signs:
• Loss of appetite
• Lethargy or weakness
• Increased drinking and urination
• Vomiting
• Abdominal enlargement
• Foul-smelling vaginal discharge (may not always be present)
🚨 Important: Some cases are “closed pyometra,” where no discharge is seen, making the condition even more dangerous.
💡 Prevention:
The best way to prevent pyometra is through spaying before reproductive complications develop.
