I'm afraid its not something I know about, has the vet confirmed its Pyometra?

What has the vet said?

no i havent been to the vet yet.am just worried as i lost her daughter last year through pyo;(

But the vet has confirmed that elder has pyo?

If you're at all worried that she has an infection (of any kind) you really ought to go To the vet.

As for a cure for pyometra, the vet can give high level antibiotics, but they're not very effective against it. The best cure is spaying.

However, you don't know that's what she has - she could just be cleaning herself! Get her to the vet to put your mind at ease.

kk thanks ill go see a vet

Hope she's OK, do let us know how you get on at the vets x

Yes, please do let us know. 

I was told by my vet that older dogs who haven't had a litter and still have their "plumbing" are prone to it, & start with symptoms 6-8 weeks after their last season !! My last girlie got it when she was 10 (fitted all criterea bove- afteq full hysterectomy and flush-out, she was fine. Vet said her uterus should be similar to a Bic Biro pen - when they got inside, it was the size of 3 cumberland sausages !!! Messy job !!
