Abstract
Pyometra is one of the most frequent and very grave diseases of the reproductive system in bitches. It occurs around 30 to 60 days following the latest oestrus in bitches that are not pregnant. Bitches older than 5 years have a significantly higher predisposition for this disease than younger bitches. There are also differences between certain breeds in the age at which this disease is manifested in a bitch. The objective of this work was to establish whether the seasons of the year also affect the incidence of pyometra in bitches in the territory of Vojvodina. The occurrence of pyometra was examined in a total of 318 bitches over a course of two years and during the different seasons of the year. It was established that a statistically significantly higher number of bitches (P,05) fall ill with this disease during the seasons September-November (31%) and December-February (28%) than during the seasons March-May (19%) and June-August (22%). The obtained data can serve to secure better prevention and timely diagnoses of pyometra in bitches.
Highlights
Prema rezultatima istraivanja brojnih autora koje je sumirao Foster (2007), ali i na osnovu prakti~nih iskustava, razli~ita oboljenja reproduktivog sistema i poreme}aji reprodukcije, predstavljaju jedan od naj~e{}ih razloga za intervenciju u klini~koj veterinarskoj praksi
Posmatraju}i po sezonama, tj. tromese~jima, u~estalost piometre se stalno pove}ava od perioda mart – april (19%), do perioda septembar – novembar (31%), da bi se ova vrednost u periodu decembar – februar ponovo malo smanjila na 28%
Rezultati nekih na{ih istraivanja (Stan~i} i sar., 2009) pokazuju da rasa kuja ima uticaja na njihovu starost kod pojave piometre
Summary
Prema rezultatima istraivanja brojnih autora koje je sumirao Foster (2007), ali i na osnovu prakti~nih iskustava, razli~ita oboljenja reproduktivog sistema i poreme}aji reprodukcije, predstavljaju jedan od naj~e{}ih razloga za intervenciju u klini~koj veterinarskoj praksi. Stan~i} i sar.: Uticaj sezone na pojavu piometre kod kuja Izuzetan zna~aj piometre kod kuja, posebno za klini~ku veterinarsku praksu, ilustruje i ~injenica da postoji veliki broj nau~no-istraiva~kih i stru~nih radova, preteno inostranih autora, koji obra|uju razli~ite aspekte ovog ozbiljnog oboljenja.
