Abstract :
The present investigation aimed to analyse
reproductive issues in dogs with a history of pyometra at
the Veterinary Clinical Complex of Nagpur Veterinary
College, Nagpur, and private veterinary clinics during
the period from April 2022 to July 2023. Pyometra, a
reproductive condition affecting approximately 25% of
female dogs before the age of ten, is most prevalent in
intact, diastral bitches. Specifically, it involves the
accumulation of pus within the uterine lumen, typically
occurring during or shortly after a period of
progesterone dominance. There are two types of
pyometra: closed cervix and open cervix. Closed cervix
pyometra is particularly hazardous. The most commonly
isolated pathogen from pyometra is E. coli. Despite the
advancements in medical care, pyometra still carries a
4% fatality rate.
