Abstract

A eight year old unspayed female Labrador dog weighing 20 kg was presented with a history of dehydration, vomiting, pyrexia, anorexia. General examination revealed that animal was depressed,with abdominal distention, sanguine purulent vaginal discharge, anuria and inability to walk. On clinical examination, the rectal temperature was recorded as 101.3oF, with swollen vulva and seropurulent vaginal discharge. On haematological examination revealed neutrophilia with left shift. The bitch was treated with one shot of cloprostenol sodium with dose rate 2 mcg/kg intramuscularand inj. cefotaxime sodium 250 mg for 5 days. But, it failed to respond the treatment. Based on the history, radiography and clinical observations the condition was diagnosed as pyometra. Hence ovariohysterectomy was performed under general anaesthesia and the animal recovered eventfully.
