abstract
The objective of this review is to focus on the diagnosis and treatment of canine pyometra. Clinical pathological tests (altered hematological, biochemical and enzymatic profile), ultrasonography (lobulated or multiple pockets of black color fluid filled cavity with varying echogenicity) and radiographs (demonstrating the enlarged uterine horns) are the basis for diagnosing the case of Pyometra. This disease can be treated with antibiotics, PGF2α, progesterone antagonist and uterine lavaging if diagnosed at its early course but ultimate treatment for canine pyometra is ovariohysterectomy in order to avoid its recurrence. Prognosis depends on severity and duration of the disease, proper diagnosis and response to the treatment.
