Pyometra problem '' Uterus And Ovaries - Page 1

Took a female to the vet , cause i thought that he has her Period cause its Un-Normal to have the period after 4 months Only Since she had it in June ... He check it out and the report was Some Infection in her Uterus ...

He told me about some AntiBiotique and he told me its really hard to solve this problem . And the only REAL treatment is the Surgical Removal of the Uterus and Ovaries ...

Please Guys and Gals Any Suggestion  ? Its a Breeding female ...
Keep me posted pealse ...

This is a very serious condition, and treatment is expensive. If things go wrong, you could lose your bitch (uterus can rupture and cause massive infection and septic shock)

As a matter of fact, a friend of mine just lost his 12 year old bitch to pyometra, in spite of the vet operating to spay her. It went undiagnosed too long before treatment, also the bitch's age was against her.

Here's a previous thread with lots more good information.

Do the surgery pyo is nothing to fool with.
Always,

Have known of at least a few of others bitches who were diagnosed ... the CAUSE can vary... in any case they opted not to remove the ueterous.. treated the infection sucessfully  and went on to live long healthy lives after producing  very nice litters.

Each case is different and no one can tell you what to do or what is best. but here are sometimes options. Certainly the dog should be treated in the mean time as you reach a decision.

Good luck to you.

 There are basically 2 types of pyometra, open or closed.  Open, is when pus is discharged and this can be treated with anti-b's,
closed, is when the pus cannot escape, bitch becomes very ill, very quickly, drinking water excessively, and will die if not spayed asap.  How old is bitch? 

@ Mannix: Thank u so much i Knew from my vet that its the Open One , Cause all The Pus are going out from her Uterus, So here im relax cause its the Open ... And Now we start the AniBio + Flagyl . And she have Blood every where ,its mean the Pus are going COMPLETELY out ... But im wonder How much should stay under this condition ? 

The female have 30months ...

Reagrds to all , Keep u posted .

I think with this, and here we are on the internet discussing a potentially life threatening situation on this dog.

With the "pus everywhere" yes you do have a serious issue regardless of the "open or closed"

Antibiotics do not completely solve this problem   A hormonal medication has to be used to cause the uterus to go back into the pre-estrus phase as you see during the beginning of a heat cycle.   Please contact a reproductive specialist or talk to your vet again about any need for using lutalyse.    This will need to be administered by your veterinarian too and your dog watched closely during the first injection for her heart rate increasing. 
I'm not sure where the Flagyl comes in unless your vet has found something other than bacteria. 
I am glad yto hear ou are staying on top of this with  the vet and hope the best for you both.  It may  well be a couple weeks before you and vet are sure your dog has recovered.
