Easy to get pyometra

Most of it occurs in old dogs over 7 years old, and the incidence rate is quite high in old female dogs that have not been neutered. When this disease first occurs, there are often only symptoms of frequent thirst and frequent urination. If it is not an open type with a large amount of secretions, the owner will not pay much attention. If it is delayed for a long time, the body tissues will be damaged due to the absorption of bacterial endotoxins, and in severe cases, it may lead to kidney failure, which cannot be treated. Atretic pyometra that cannot drain out will cause peritonitis when the uterus ruptures due to collision or excess pus, which can quickly lead to death. In addition, the risk of anesthesia for old and sick dogs is high, and the cost of surgery and postoperative care is much higher than that of normal sterilization. Therefore, animals that are not intended to be bred are best sterilized as soon as possible.
