pyrometra

What is this thing....

Chloe has the onset of it, the vet has put her on maximum dose antibiotics and she has to go for spay on Thursday.. Just looked it up on google and it's really serious.. Anyone had this problem?

I had to google it and it does seem serious, but as it's been caught so early i'm sure she will be fine once she has been spayed.

Hope she gets all better soon

big hugs for chloe

My first bitch had pyometra & that's why she was spayed.

Yes, it's serious, but if caught early it can be treated really well. At least it sounds like hers is an 'open' pyometra, rather than a 'closed' one. With a closed one you don't see any signs until it's really bad.

Don't know which it is she gave her some antibiotics 80mg (names in another thread), and said they were the strongest she could give her. She said they can penetrate pus ?? Chloe is okay in herself, and the crazy thing is if we hadn't booked her in for a spay later this month we would have not noticed this illness

Open Pyometra basically means that you can see the infection, ie you see puss/discharge from the vulva. If it's closed you don't get that warning & it can be very nasty.

As it's been spotted nice & early, though, the anti-bs & the spaying will put her right.

Really hope so..

At least I feel better about getting her spayed now, it's like she told us she's okay with our decision.... Thursday is going to be a long day

She'll be fine.

It's keeping her quiet afterwards that's the hard part!

Jemma has the discharge, but none of the other symptoms, so i dnt think she has this. ive got her booked into the vet for thurs, and will mention this illness to him and ask his opinion. i may try and move the appointment to tomorrow.

This is so true they don't like to just lay down and rest for too long. I hope everything works out fo ryou and best of luck on Thursday.

Dont think Jemma will have this because she is spayed already, can someone confirm please ... Good luck on Thursday with her tho, let me know how she goes on please x

Awww poor chloe she will be fine as long as she is spayed try not to worry you are doing right by her

i have Jemma in at the vets tonite at 6.40pm to check this and her rash (which im convinced is hayfever) but her discharge has not completly stopped, but has slowed down.
its not smelly, and normally clear or milky colour, so hopefully its jus a hormone inbalance.

Lainey try not worry bout jemma, i'm sure spaying cures this infection... Jemma's spayed so she can't get it, I think it's a womb infection

She should be fine, at least you caught it early and you can get her all sorted out. And as you were going to spay her anyway at least it can all be done at the same time!

hows chloe doin?? xx
