Hello, I thought this might help some people if they suffer anything similar with there dogs.
So here is what happend again but in more details, this is from my vets report on the incident.
History:
From early hours of this morning going outside frequentley& crying. Straining to defecate. Recently has been pollakiuric.
Normal prior to desexing at 6 months.
Vaginal discharge started early September, has swab taken & blood test. Evidently no abonormalities.
Tialled on Clavulox antibiotics - discharge didn't resolve. Vaginal exam with endoscope revealed pus coming from cervix. Treated with EOD vaginal douches (vaginal flushing) every 2-4 days in a salt solution. Hasn't had a urinalysis.
Report from what happend at the emergency vets last night:
Rectal exame palpable soft flocculent mass in region of vagina - obstructing rectal canal ( this made my dog look as if she was constipated).
Vaginal exam - hypmen type tissue with very narrow lumen, couldn't pass finger through it, however when attempted slightley streaching of lumen - resulted in release of large amont of pus - approx 200mls.
Assessment:
Stump pyomtra strongly suspected. Swelling caused by pus obtructed behind 'hymen' type tissue in a vagina. No evidents of systemic illness secondary to pyometra.
Plan:
Recommended abdominal ultrasound & exploratory surgery to remove suspected stump pyometre. CT scan should be considered if unable to visualise area via ultrasound.
