Title: Pyometra Post by: Semmes on January 28, 2023, 08:58:21 am Anyone got tips on prevention?
Short of breeding every heat, or spaying... Title: Re: Pyometra Post by: HIGHWATER KENNELS on January 28, 2023, 05:00:00 pm We lost a good gyp yrs ago from this. It was the first time in my 45 yrs that I had heard or seen a gyp die from this. They told me if u don’t breed a gyp on her cycle. Need to have a round of antibiotics run thru on every heat cycle. No specific antibiotic but just a broad spectrum.

She quickly developed a very large bump in her abdomen a while after one of her heat cycles as a 9 year old. Then quit eating and rapidly when down. I thought she musta had cancer or something. Then I read up and all signs pointed to pyo. She had the yellow discharge which meant she had the open type infection.
Was talking to guy guy I gave a daughter of that dogs the other day and he told me she had the same symptoms with the rapid growth of a football size lump in her abdomen. And he had to put her down. She was 9 yes old as well. And had recently had a heat cycle. Both these dogs were very fertile type dogs that had rather large liters. I currently have the sister to that female that just got out of a cycle. She milked up and everything like a false pregnancy. But is drying up and seems fine. Eating good, no lump, no discharge. I wonder if this kind thing can run in a line of dogs and be heritable? Title: Re: Pyometra Post by: HIGHWATER KENNELS on January 29, 2023, 11:03:47 am That I’m not sure of man. As I said. I had never even seen or heard of this problem til 2 yrs ago. I know that it is prob better to be on safe side and just administer the infection meds after the heat cycle if not bred. I wish u luck with ur gyp man hope she overcomes it.
