🐾 A Life-Saving Mission at Surigao Pet Doctors: Emergency Pyometra Surgery🐾
At Surigao Pet Doctors, we recently performed an emergency surgical repair for a beloved furry friend suffering from pyometra—a life-threatening uterine infection that can affect unspayed female dogs. This brave pup's journey reminds us of the importance of timely veterinary care and proactive pet health management.
Pyometra is a silent danger that can escalate quickly, causing symptoms like lethargy, vomiting, abdominal swelling, and even septic shock. In this case, our skilled veterinary team acted swiftly to perform an ovariohysterectomy (spay surgery), removing the infected uterus and saving the dog's life. Thanks to the dedication of our team led by one of our vet surgeon Doc Zach and the love of her owner, this pup is now on the road to recovery, wagging her tail once again! 🐶💕
Prevention is Key: Educating Dog Owners
While we’re always here to help in emergencies, prevention is the best medicine. Pyometra is entirely preventable through early spaying. Here’s why spaying is a game-changer for your dog’s health:
✅Eliminates Risk of Pyometra:Spaying removes the uterus, eliminating the possibility of this dangerous infection.
✅Reduces Cancer Risk:Early spaying significantly lowers the risk of mammary tumors.
✅Improves Quality of Life:Spayed dogs are less likely to experience hormonal imbalances and related health issues.
We encourage pet owners to spay their dogs before their second heat cycle for maximum health benefits. Not only does this safeguard your pet’s well-being, but it also spares you the emotional and financial stress of emergency treatments.
