Canine pyometra is the most common diestrual uterine disease of intact bitches and is characterized by accumulation of purulent material in the uterine lumen, typically occurring during or immediately following a period of progesterone dominance. Pyometra can be classified as open-cervix or closed-cervix, with the latter being a medical emergency requiring rapid intervention to prevent subsequent sepsis and potential patient death (Pretzer, 2008).
