Abstract

Pyometra can most commonly affect middle-aged bitches to older animals, or young bitches that use exogenous hormones. This disease is related to diestrus, a phase in which there is a greater stimulation of the hormone progesterone and the consequent development of cystic endometrial hyperplasia, with changes in the functions of the uterus. In this study, an unusual event of open pyometra in a 10-month-old dog was reported, with only vaginal secretion present on physical examination and few changes in blood test that could suggest an infectious condition. Imaging diagnosis was essential in this case and provided an appropriate treatment for the animal.
