💔 Pyometra: The Silent Emergency You Can Prevent 💔
Did you know that waiting to spay your female dog or cat could cost her life?
Pyometra is a life-threatening infection of the uterus that affects unspayed female dogs and cats, especially as they get older. This condition can come on suddenly—and it is a true emergency.
🩺 What Is Pyometra?
Pyometra is a severe infection where the uterus fills with pus. It happens due to hormonal changes in the reproductive tract of an unspayed female. Once this condition develops, the bacteria and toxins can enter the bloodstream and lead to sepsis, kidney failure, or death if not treated quickly.
Symptoms can include:
Lethargy
Vomiting
Loss of appetite
Swollen or painful abdomen
Vaginal discharge (though not always present)
Excessive drinking or urination
Collapse
🚨 Why This Is an Emergency:
By the time symptoms appear, your pet may already be in critical condition. The only effective treatment is emergency surgery to remove the infected uterus and ovaries—a spay under high-risk, emergency conditions. It’s expensive, dangerous, and not all pets survive.
🐾 But This Emergency Is Preventable
The best and safest way to protect your beloved pet is to spay her before pyometra ever becomes a risk. A routine spay surgery is much less risky, less expensive, and can add years to her life.
At 4 Precious Paws, we see too many heartbreaking cases of pyometra—cases that could have been prevented with one simple choice. If your pet is older and still not spayed, don’t wait.
