Emergency Diagnosis and Surgery for Canine Pyometra

"Pyometra": A Serious Disease Pets Can Get If They're Not Spayed or Neutered!

Elsa came in feeling weak, with pus mixed with blood leaking from her genital area. The veterinarian quickly performed an ultrasound to determine the cause of the issue. The result showed that Elsa had Pyometra -- a severe uterine infection. Even worse, her uterus had ruptured, causing the infection to spread into her abdominal cavity, putting her at serious risk. An emergency surgery was performed right away, and thankfully, the operation was successful.

Did You Know? Spaying and Neutering = Disease Prevention!

Many people might think spaying or neutering isn't that important. But actually, it helps prevent serious diseases such as:

• For females: it can prevent pyometra, mammary tumors, and ovarian cysts.
• For males: it can reduce the risk of enlarged prostate, infections, and tumors.

If your pet hasn't been spayed or neutered yet, bring them in for a consultation with our veterinarians. Please don't wait until they get sick to treat them! Spay or neuter today to prevent serious health problems tomorrow.
