A successful surgery by Dr. Ela! 👩‍⚕️🩺

Case: Pyometritis in a 5-year-old intact female Shih Tzu

Pyometritis is a serious infection and inflammation of the uterus that can quickly become life-threatening when left untreated. While it is more commonly seen in older unspayed female dogs, this case reminds us that younger dogs can also be affected.

⚠️ Signs may include:
• Vaginal discharge
• Loss of appetite
• Vomiting
• Lethargy or weakness
• Fever
• Increased drinking and urination
• Swollen or painful abdomen

🩺 Treatment:
Emergency surgery (ovariohysterectomy/spay) is often the best and safest treatment to remove the infected uterus and prevent complications such as sepsis or uterine rupture.

🐶 Myths vs Facts About Pyometritis

❌ MYTH: “Only old dogs get pyometra.”
✅ FACT: Although more common in older dogs, younger intact females can still develop uterine infections.

❌ MYTH: “My dog can recover with antibiotics alone.”
✅ FACT: Antibiotics may help temporarily, but surgery is usually necessary to completely treat the condition and save the dog’s life.

❌ MYTH: “A dog should have one litter before being spayed.”
✅ FACT: There is no medical benefit to allowing a dog to have one litter first. Early spaying actually helps prevent pyometra and other reproductive diseases.

❌ MYTH: “Discharge after heat is always normal.”
✅ FACT: Persistent, foul-smelling, bloody, or pus-like discharge should never be ignored and requires immediate veterinary attention.

Early detection saves lives. Always monitor your pets closely and consult your veterinarian immediately if you notice unusual signs after a heat cycle. 🐾
