Pyometra Problem (dog)
Comments (0) Question from visitor :
I am writing from Africa and we got a puppy she is about 3-4 months and she has two small lumps one in her tail and one in her body close to her ribs, we don’t know what it is and there is not a vet in the city. It looks like a crater with something white inside,it is hard and about half an inch aprox. she seems healthy and sometimes she scratches her lumps, we put some peroxide and she cried and then we applied a cream called Mycoster for Dermatosis superinfected or not with bacteria. I don’t know if it could be a worm that got into her skin or maybe a wound infected she plays with her sister and they bite each other. They are getting bigger.
Can you please give as some advice. I will post some pictures tomorrow. She is a mix of labrador and street dog.
answer :
Medical management of pyometra is difficult but could be achieved with:
- IV fluids
- Antibiotics
- Prostaglandins: to push pus out of the uterus
This is more dangerous than the operation itself providing that the anaesthesia is monitored properly. I recommend that you find a vet that would be satisfied to operate on your dog.
Best of luck, Julien
