Pathogenesis of Pyometra: Treatment and Diagnosis

Pyometra refers to an acute or persistent suppurative inflammation of the uterine wall. A six-year-old Persian cat was admitted to Pet Hospital, with history of anorexia and chronic emaciation. During abdominal examination, the uterus felt larger and firmer than usual. Then ultrasonography examination was done and it revealed anechoic multiple pus pockets. Blood analysis showed that the level of AST, ALT, urea, creatinine increased, and PCV and Hb% decreased. All the findings confirmed that cat had suffering from pyometra. After confirmation, it was decided to do ovariohysterectomy under general anaesthesia. The suture was removed after fourteen days. The cat had a complete recovery without any complication.
