A Case Report on Pyometra in a Spitz Dog

Abstract

A 5-year-old female spitz dog with a history of anorexia, lethargy, fever, polydipsia and purulent vaginal discharge for past 3 days was presented in Teaching and Training Pet Hospital and Research Center, Purbachal, Dhaka. An abdominal ultrasonography was performed that revealed distended uterus with an anechoic to hyperechoic fluid. Based on the history, clinical signs, physical examination and laboratory results the condition was diagnosed as open cervix pyometra which was successfully corrected by ovario-hysterectomy.
