Trexie, a 9-year-old female dog, was brought to the clinic with vaginal discharge, lethargy, loss of appetite, and a distended (bloated) abdomen. While these signs may seem mild at first, her condition quickly proved more complex.

An ultrasound showed an enlarged, fluid-filled uterus with thickened walls and echogenic (bright, suggesting pus) contentโhighly suggestive of a severe uterine infection.
Bloodwork supported this, showing elevated white blood cells, anemia, low platelets, and systemic inflammation. Pre-anesthetic tests also indicated significant stress, with elevated protein, liver enzymes, and glucose.
Trexie was diagnosed with ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป-๐๐๐ฝ๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ, a life-threatening condition where the uterus fills with pus.

Further testing confirmed tick-borne blood parasites (Ehrlichia, Babesia, Anaplasma). These do not cause pyometra but weaken the immune system, making infections harder to manage.
