What are some side effects of pyometra in dogs after surgery?
We have an eleven year aged dalmation. She had operation a day as well as a half ago. We were wanting to know a little of a side goods of pyometra after surgery.
You want to watch for lingering signs of infection. Be sure she doesn’t have an elevated temperature, her incision is clean and dry, not red, pus-covered, or wet. Make sure he stitches are dry and that she isn’t mutilating them. The vet may have given you antibiotics for her. Make sure she takes them as prescribed. Keep her relatively quiet and prohibit jumping and running. She should get much better very quickly after surgery.
Since side effects are dose-dependent and are known to diminish with repetition of treatment, it is recommended that one start with the lowest dosage to avoid the classic side effect of vomiting, and then to slowly increase the dosage to reach higher doses. We generally administer 10 mg/kg five times a day the first day, increase to 25 mg/kg five times a day the second day, and reach 50 mg/kg on Day 3. Doses of 50 mg/kg are then administered three to five times daily for the rest of the treatment. Side effects are uncommon with this regimen (<15% show signs). They are rarely observed after the first two or three injections, and may consist of vomiting, diarrhea, panting of moderate to mild intensity beginning 20–30 min after administration and never lasting for >30 min. Synthetic prostaglandins such as cloprostenol can be used instead of natural prostaglandins. Although their use is associated with reduced side effects (essentially emesis) and prolonged activity, they have a reduced ability to induce uterine contractions, resulting in slower evacuation of the uterus.
Most dogs can recover from a pyometra if they survive the surgery, but it all depends on how severe the infection is and how much organ damage was sustained. Although the infected uterus has been removed, the body is still swarming with bacteria and toxins, and oftentimes the kidneys have been damaged while attempting to filter the toxin-filled blood. In addition, the sudden loss of mass and fluid after the removal of the enlarged uterus can cause the body to go into shock. To combat these complications, most dogs are kept on IV fluids and antibiotics for several days after the surgery until they stabilize.
The incision should be kept clean and dry to prevent infection, and you should check the site daily for redness, swelling, or pus for the incision.
If your dog is doing well a day and a half post-op, that is a very good sign. She’s a lucky girl!
My dog had surgery for pyometra, an a monday, and on thursday she was jumping up on the furniture,,,monday morning before the surgery, I thought she was gonna die, she was a very sick dog…so in no time she was back to her old self…no problems at all…
My 9 year old Presa Canario had Pyometra surgey on Sunday She was in really bad shape,The doc just called and said the surgery went well,Hopefully if she’s better she’ll be home in no time.^^^^hearing you guys and gals talking about a speedy recovery is very comforting to me thanks.Glad I acted when I did,and thank god for the internet.Just make sure to fix them or you’ll end up like me.A usual spay=400$ Pyometra surgery 2500$Having my dog alive and well=Priceless.Take Care.
My 6 year old poodle had pyometria surgery today and we’re still waiting on the results. Her anemia level was very bad because she had not eaten in 4days and has always been an extremely picky eater. But with the comments I’ve read, I feel confident she will be ok and recovery will be quick. The less pain for her the better.
My 15 yr old Shetland has been diagnosed with Pyometra. The vet said that she is a high risk candidate due to her heart murmurs. The vet suggested Euthanasia, but my family can’t bear to do that t o her, as she is still active and has a good appetite. We intend to put her thru the op today and are praying that she comes thru without any problems. Thank you. I hope my Lucy recovers well like all your pets. Pls do keep her in your prayers.
I’m glad I came accros this website, my 9yr old Belgium Shepherd (Bonita) is in surgery as I write this, I left her at the Vet and she was not in a good way, difficult to see an active happy dog, hardly being able to move. I hope my Bonita recovers well like all the above pets. At least it’s comforting to read good stories as the above. Thanks

My 10 year old golden retriever went under surgery yesterday. We went to pick her up today and she cannot get up. Not even the vet could tell us what is wrong with her. We are very worried. We brought her home, she is not well.
My 10 year old chihuahua had the surgery on Monday and was sent home Tuesday. When she came home she was doing ok given what the poor thing had went through. She ate a few of her favorite treats and drank a lot of water. Today, Wednesday, it is 5 in the evening and she has not eaten, she drinks water but will not eat. Now I am beginning to worry. Is this normal? @ Sheila and Darrell I can’t believe how much the vet charged you. My baby was in real bad shape too, she spend 4 days at the vet and my total bill including surgery was a little bit under $500. I mean I would pay what ever to save my dog too but you should probably find another vet. =)
Wow — $500? My little one’s emergency surgery Friday cost $5000. I could not afford it and panicked I called a dear friend for a loan and not only did he loan me the money, he even came up with a way to use my skills to do some work for him to pay him off. I am so blessed. She had the surgery at about 8pm Friday and was told by the surgeon it was possible she would come home Saturday. Surgery went well with ‘minimal bleeding’ and we will see tomorrow how she does. I called Saturday morning and while he said she appeared bright, her fever was still 103. He said he would like to add an additional antibiotic to be sure and Sunday would be better, Sunday morning (today) I got a call that she looked great and to pick her up. She is amazing. She is laying next to me with 10 staples in her belly and no complaints. They have given me tramadol in addition to 2 antibiotics so I guess the pain med is working. I know if it was me I would not be wagging my tail like she is. I’m praying she will recover quickly as so many have said, and barring any setbacks, I think she will. My bank balance however may not
My 8 year old staffshire terrier, Pazzy, had Pyometra surgery and two tumors removed from her mammary gland about five days ago. The doctors said that without the surgery she probably would not have made it through the night because she had something like five pounds of infection inside of her uterus and it was close to rupturing. She is on antibiotics and pain meds, and as of a day or two ago has made a complete turn around. She is wagging her tail, walking around, and her appetite is finally returning. My husband and I have three young children and consider Pazzy our first “child”. We have spent our entire savings and then some to save her, but the alternative was not an option. My question is that she has developed some very dark red bruising on her stomach about an inch or two away from the incision over the last few days. To bring her back to the hospital would mean an additional $300-$500 that we do not have. We are worried, however, that this is a sign of internal bleeding. Any feedback as to whether this is a “normal” post op symptom would be greatly appreciated.
At this very moment, 1:35 p.m., our little 10 year old miniature Schnauzer, Mitzi, is undergoing Pyometra surgery and we’re praying for safety and a speedy recovery. And, yes, it’s very expensive, but Mitzi’s worth it.
My 10-year-old airedale had pyometra surgery a week ago. She only just survived post-op as her electrolytes and WBC were poor. She has revovered but is now quite lethargic, although eating ok. Her blood readings are ok too. I just wonder if she is depressed – anyone else had this problem?
my 5 yr old pitbull toni suddenly went downhill over the last few days, stopped eating, drinking, and has been very dehydrated, and today she ad blood leaking from the vulva. i rushed her to *U Penn* and they are performing surgery right now. please say a prayer. they diagnosed her with the pyometra and basically said if we cant do the surgery they srtongly recommend putting her to sleep. that wasnt an option for me. luckily i have amazing inlaws who offered to loan us the money. costing us AT LEAST 3000-4000 dollars best ase scenario. but then if she needs antibiotics, or an extended stay at the hospital it could be much much more. ouch.. toni is more than worth it though.. please say a prayer
My baby girl Emma bear is 10 yrs old and is having surgery for Pyometra as I type. I pray for her to recover and survive. I am so scared. My vet bill will be $1760. Please pray for my Emma. She was severely abused before I rescued her and has had a wonderful15 months in her new life with me. Emma deserves another 5 years of happiness.
My 8 year old lab had Pyometra and was rushed in to surgery Saturday. She came home today, Tuesday and was doing really well until just about 30 minutes ago. I called the vet, because the ‘third eye” came back, but have yet to hear back from him. I’m wondering if the move from hospital to home was just to much for her and she’s exhausted or if something is going terribly wrong. Does anyone have any similar experience with post-surgery behavior? I’m at a loss for what to do until the vet calls back. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!
My pug had an open pyometra over a year ago. I have taken her to a different vet because she is still having discharge from time to time (they can’t find anything). Please if anyone can help me let me know.
My dog Sammy is at the vet hospital right now waiting for her Pyometra surgery tomorrow morning. She had the classic signs like bloating, drinking lots of water, vomiting, being lethargic but she also had blood shot eyes and yesterday her eyes had rolled back a bit in her head. This morning her eyes were less rolled back but they were extremely droopy and there was lots of gunk around them. All the initial tests cost $500 and the surgery it self along with hospital stays etc… will be $2150. This seems to be a bit higher than some people have payed but everything costs more in Canada so I don’t mind I just hope she makes a speedy recovery. Cross your fingers for her.
My 9 year old pitbull diamond is in surgery while i type this. She was diagnosed with closed pyometra. I am scared her belly was swollen. It is going to cost us $2750 when its all said and done. Vet is working with us on a payment plan. Please pray for my di di.
My american bulldog had surgery for pyometra about a month ago she also had part of her mammory glands removed, she lost alot of weight just before the surgery and though i have her on a high protein high fat diet receiving about four meals a day and dog muti vitamins she is still not putting on weight. She also appears to be drinking alot. Any ideas?
I’m shocked and appalled at what your vets are charging!!!!!! My dog had emergency surgery for severe pyometra, with an overnight stay, IV antibiotics and pain meds, and sent me home with both meds, the whole thing cost me $179 total. And She was treated extremely well and was well cared for, at a regular vets office. She has perked up dramatically in the hours she has been home, and is eating and drinking. My vet recommended chicken noodle soup if they wont eat kibble. Mine loved it.
our lab cross is 9yrs old and we noticed a few months ago that she licking her privates all the time, we didn’t think much of it as all dogs do this to clean themselves, but just a few days ago early in the morning i could hear her moving about making a right fuss, when i turned the light on to look at her i noticed she was unable to get up and looked really ill, we watched over her for a few hours but she just seemed to get worse, me and my wife put it down to being poisoned by some sort of weed killer when taking her for a walk, little did we know that she had pyometra until we seeked medical advice, after the surgery was done the vet wanted to see us and explain how the op went, but we were shocked to see what we did, the vet showed us what they had removed and the size of 1 of her ovaries, the size of a grown mans fist, they explained there is a 98% chance that it is cancer, i must say i’m so glad we took her to get checked out cause just 1 day after surgery she is looking so well.
To :Angi Where is your vet located that charged you $179? My 8 year old lab needs this surgery and I am so scared of the cost but I want to save my dogs life!!!!!

I’ve had two b*tches with pyometra, even though they were very sick they recovered quickly once the infected uterus was removed.
