🐱⚠️ Pyometra in Cats – A Life-Threatening Emergency ⚠️🐱
Did you know that unspayed female cats are at risk of developing pyometra, a serious infection of the uterus that can become life-threatening very quickly?

💔 Signs to watch for:
• Lethargy or weakness
• Loss of appetite
• Vomiting
• Increased thirst or urination
• Vaginal discharge (not always present!)
Pyometra can progress rapidly, and many cats don’t show obvious signs until they are critically unwell.

⏳ Early diagnosis and urgent treatment are crucial. In most cases, surgery is needed to save your cat’s life.
✅ The good news? Pyometra is completely preventable with desexing.

If your cat is showing any of these signs or is not yet desexed, please don’t wait—contact your vet immediately.
