Spontaneous perforated pyometra is a rare cause of the surgical acute abdomen with free intraperiton...

The microbiological isolation from the intrauterine contents of 100 dogs with pyometra was carri...

Substantial improvements in therapeutic options for companion animal reproduction and gynecologic emergencies have been made over the last decade. New, alternative drug treatments, with fewer side effects and improved efficacy, are available. This has widened the spectrum of therapeutic possibilities for diseases that were previously treated only by surgical intervention. New drugs are availabl...

The evaluation of the clinical status of the animal affected helps in predicting the prognosis. A study was conducted with female dogs diagnosed with pyometra forming the affected group (n=35) andfemale dogs presented for ovariohysterectomy forming the control group (n=12)....
