Abstract

Although the incidence of feline pyometra is lower than canine, it can have devastating effects in breeding animals. Owners are requesting medical management of pyometra for valuable breeding animals more often and the practitioner must be able to provide recommendations and guidance. Pyometra is most often diagnosed in older animals, but there is now a disease process observed in animals as young as 9 - 10 months. Pathogenesis, clinical signs, diagnosis, and medical treatment are discussed.
