Sasha is a 5 year old staffordshire terrior who came to see Dr. Albrecht in early March for refusing to eat, lethargy, and bloated stomach. Upon x-ray, Dr. Albrecht could see that Sasha’s uterus was filled with fluid, and she diagnosed her with Pyometra. Pyometra is an infected uterus that fills with pus and is fatal if the uterus isn’t removed. This condition is common in older females because the risk of infection increases with the more heat cycles the dog experiences. Sasha was immediately spayed and hospitalized overnight. Yesterday she came back for her suture removal and looked great! Sasha is such a tough girl, and it was great to see her feeling well again!
