Abstract

Pyometra is a frequently diagnosed bacterial infection of the uterus in intact, sexually mature bitches, leading to the accumulation of purulent material in the uterine lumen. Approximately one third of the anoestrous bitches can be diagnosed with pyometra. Closed-cervix pyometra is particularly dangerous, because septicaemia and toxaemia may develop rapidly and if left untreated can result in death of the patient. Due to the insidious nature of the disease and its sometimes equivocal clinical signs, patients are often presented in poor condition for anaesthesia and surgery.
