Jancy is back to life …

9 year old Jancy was presented at the clinic with the problems of reduced food intake and a discharge from va**na. Ultrasound scanning and blood counts revealed that she was suffering from Pyometra; a disease in which pus accumulates inside the uterus.

After stabilising her with antibiotics and fluids, we decided to go for a pan hysterectomy in which the uterus and ovaries were to be removed; Though age was a risk factor her parent Akash was confident in us to go ahead.

12 days back we performed the surgery and follow up treatments were given. And today she came for her suture removal and she is perfectly alright now.

Dear Pet parents, if you do not wish to breed your female dogs, please spay them. Pyometra can often be fatal and animals who havenot conceived are at a higher risk when compared to others.

We offer neutering surgeries for dogs and cats.

🐶 Pyometra in a 6 year Old Pug 🐶

This 6 year old pug was presented last week at the hospital with history of reduced food intake, lethargy and discharge from the va**na.

On Ultrasound scanning and blood tests, the Condition was diagnosed to be Pyometra.

The animal was stabilised with I/V fluids and antibiotics for 7 days and an Ovario Hysterectomy was performed yesterday. The surgery went fine and the animal recovered uneventfully.

🛑WHAT IS PYOMETRA IN DOGS AND CATS?

Pyometra is defined as a uterine infection. It is always seen in unaltered females regardless of their breeding status.

Pyometra is an important disease to be aware of for any dog or cat owner because of the sudden nature of the disease and the deadly consequences if left untreated. It has been compared to acute appendicitis in humans because both are essentially empyemas within an abdominal organ.

🛑WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF PYOMETRA IN DOGS AND CATS?

The clinical signs of pyometra will vary depending on if the cervix is closed or not. Symptoms in a closed pyometra are usually more severe, as the bacteria and pus in the uterus are not able to drain. This will causes severe illness and pain. Some symptoms include:

Anorexia
Lethargy
Fever
Abdominal pain
Increased thirst
Vomiting

Symptoms in an open pyometra can include:

Pus discharge from the v***a
Discharge found on the tail or back end
Lethargy
Anorexia
Fever
Abdominal pain
Increased thirst
Vomiting

🛑WHAT CAUSES PYOMETRA IN DOGS AND CATS?

Pyometra is a result of hormonal and structural changes in the uterus lining. This can happen at any age, whether she has bred or not, and whether it is her 1st or 10th heat. The main risk period for a female is for eight weeks after her peak standing heat (or estrous cycle) has ended. Normally during this period, the cervix, which was open during her heat, begins to close, and the inner lining begins to adapt back to normal. However, cystic hyperplasia of the endometrium (inner lining of the uterus) – known as cystic endometrial hyperplasia (CEH) – may occur at this time for some animals, as an inappropriate response to progesterone.

Under these circumstances, bacteria that have migrated from the va**na into the uterus find the environment favorable to growth, especially since progesterone also causes mucus secretion, closes the cervix (preventing uterine drainage), and decreases uterine contractility.

🛑TREATMENT OF PYOMETRA

Surgical removal of the uterus and ovaries (ovariohysterectomy-spay) is the recommended course of treatment for pyometra in dogs and cats. While some owners would like a less invasive treatment, surgery is absolutely the only way to eradicate the infection and prevent future complications. The possibility of successful treatment without surgery is extremely low. When a dog is diagnosed early, they are good surgical candidates, and often recover fully. Unfortunately, pyometra symptoms can be vague to pet owners, so often pets present in the very ill stages of this condition. In these cases, it is recommended to have the pet stabilized before and after surgery, and be hospitalized after to monitor for complications. Dogs and cats with pyometra are often sent home with a 2-week course of antibiotics following surgery.

🛑PREVENTION OF PYOMETRA

The only certain prevention for pyometra is through routine spay. Pyometra is a deadly condition, so routine spay is always recommended in order to help each animal live a long and healthy life.
