Dog Pyometra
Pyometra is a serious and life-threatening infection of the uterus that affects unspayed female dogs. This condition typically develops due to hormonal changes and bacterial infection, leading to pus accumulation in the uterus.
Recognizing the Signs of Pyometra in Dogs
Pyometra is a serious uterine infection that can be life-threatening if untreated. It occurs when bacteria enter the reproductive tract, leading to a dangerous buildup of pus. Accessible Veterinary Care in Milton, FL, provides expert surgical treatment to protect your dog’s health.
Symptoms vary depending on whether the infection is open or closed. In open pyometra, pus drains from the vulva, while in closed pyometra, the cervix remains sealed, trapping the infection inside. Common signs include lethargy, loss of appetite, excessive thirst, vomiting, fever, and abdominal swelling. If your dog shows any of these symptoms, seek veterinary care immediately.

Why Prompt Treatment and Prevention Are Essential for Dog Pyometra
Delaying treatment for pyometra can lead to severe complications, including sepsis, kidney failure, and uterine rupture. Early surgical intervention reduces risks and improves recovery outcomes. Accessible Veterinary Care provides timely and compassionate care to ensure the best chance of a full recovery.
The most effective way to prevent pyometra is by spaying female dogs before they reach reproductive maturity. Spaying eliminates the risk of uterine infections and offers additional health benefits, such as a reduced chance of mammary tumors.
