๐จ A Reminder About the Hidden Risks of Leaving Female Pets Unspayed ๐จ
Weโve treated TWO emergency pyometra cases in the last week alone.
Pyometra is a severe infection of the uterus that can develop suddenly in unspayed female dogs and cats. It is painful, life-threatening, and often requires emergency surgery and hospitalization. Unfortunately, many owners donโt realize how sick their pet is until the condition becomes critical.
Signs of pyometra may include:
๐พ Lethargy
๐พ Decreased appetite
๐พ Vomiting
๐พ Increased thirst or urination
๐พ Vaginal discharge
๐พ A swollen abdomen
Spaying completely prevents pyometra and also dramatically reduces the risk of mammary (breast) cancer, especially when performed before multiple heat cycles.
Spaying isnโt just about preventing unwanted littersโitโs one of the most important preventive health decisions you can make for your pet.
If your dog or cat has not been spayed and is showing any of the signs above, please contact your veterinarian as soon as possible.
Prevention is safer, easier, and far less expensive than emergency surgery. โค๏ธ๐พ
