Pyometra Surgery Services
We understand that your furry companion is an integral part of your family, and their health and well-being are paramount to you. Pyometra is a serious condition that affects female dogs and cats, and we are here to provide you with a comprehensive guide to pyometra surgery, a life-saving procedure for your beloved pet.
What is Pyometra surgery?
Pyometra is a potentially life-threatening uterus infection in unspayed female dogs and cats. This condition can develop when the uterus becomes filled with pus, leading to severe health issues if left untreated. Pyometra typically affects older, unspayed females, and its primary cause is hormonal changes that occur during a pet’s estrous (heat) cycle.
Symptoms of Pyometra Surgery for Pets
Recognizing the symptoms of pyometra is crucial for early intervention and successful treatment. Common signs include:
Vaginal discharge: A foul-smelling discharge may be observed.
Increased thirst and urination: Due to kidney dysfunction caused by the infection.
Lethargy and depression: Your pet may appear tired and uninterested in activities.
Loss of appetite: A decreased interest in food is common.
Enlarged abdomen: Swelling due to the infected uterus.
If you notice any of these signs, it is essential to seek immediate veterinary care.
