Dog pyometra symptoms?

Monday May 25th, 2009

Question:

What are the symptoms of pyometra, and how does my vet diagnose it?

Answer:

A pet with pyometra can have the following signs: weakness, vomiting, poor appetite, increased thirst, increased urination and a fever. There may be a reddish, foul-smelling discharge from your pet's vulva.

Blood work classically shows high kidney values, a low red blood cell count (anemia), and a high white blood cell count, typical of an infection. All these findings are suggestive of pyometra. X-rays and/or an ultrasound can confirm a pus-filled uterus.

Hacking
5 days ago I was surprised with a 3 month old adorable female schnauzer. Everything is going great. I took her to her kennels vet for a 72hr. follow up check and was told evertything looked good. She was hacking a lttle when I first got her, and now seems to do it more. Nothing comes up. It hasn't affected her appetite, activity, although it wakes her sometimes. When I mentioned it to the vet, he said she was getting over a cold. Will this pass or should I be concerned? I don't see it getting any better (2 days)
