Can a male dog cause a female dog to get pyrometra?

My female chihuahua had emergency surgery this afternoon for pyometra. She is home now and resting some but I can't get her to eat or drink anything. She has had her first dose of pain medicine at home and she still won't even drink water. She is panting pretty fast and I'm concerned. What should I do?

hi, my 16 year old lab just was diagnosed with pyometra 15 hours after we had the first visable symptoms of something wrong. Because she is so old, I am worried more about surgery and want to do agressive antibiotics first. She is on Amoxicylin now and will start additional meds tomorrow. What are her risks for surgery at her age and am I making the wrong or right decision?

My dog was just diagnosed with a closed pyometra and is at the vets at this very moment. We chose to treat her without surgery due to the cost. And will have her spayed at a later time. Her bloodwork was very bad. I'm second guessing our decision to go this route. Opinions. Advise. Thoughts on her chances of survival. Thank you in advance.

I just lost my sweet Bella today because of this. She was a 15-year-old Jack Russell terrier. She had been urinating a lot, even in the house sometimes, and was drinking excessive amounts of water. Also, she couldn't get comfortable when she laid down. She would groan and grumble a lot, and her abdomen was distended. We took her to the vet yesterday, and he did blood work and an x-ray because he suspected pyometra. I decided to proceed with the surgery, but when he opened her up he found a mass on her kidney that had adhered itself to her ovary. At that point, he recommended euthanasia rather than put her through anymore. I miss her so much. She was the absolute light of my life. Please if you don't plan to breed your dog, get her spayed now. Don't wait.

I just adopted a 6-8 year old former golden/lab mix who went through pyometra surgery at end of November. She was treated with a 2nd course of antibiotics due to frequent urination and leaking urine during recovery from surgery. She is now done with the 2 week course of meds but still leaking urine and has to wear a diaper 100% of the time. Could there be something else going on as the vular area is still very swollen and there is a flap of skin on the right side of the vulva area where the leaking is occurring. I have never encountered this with a spayed female dog before but am worried about what is causing the leaking which has increased over the 4 weeks since pyometra surgery. We started Sadie on Proin a few days ago but no improvement. Thank you!

My mom's dog was diagnosed and had surgery for pyometra about 10 days ago. The surgery went well and all seemed fine after, she had minimal discharge, was having regular bowel movements, was eating and drinking fine, and even began to play (which we tried to keep to a minimum). Three days ago she started bleeding out of her vagina, so much so that we had to get her diapers. We took her back to the vet and they prescribed a coagulant (For some reason my mom didn't give her that). This morning she went through three diapers worth of blood. The blood had clots in it as well as normal blood. We called the vet and they said there was nothing more to do and to monitor her and let them know if she starts throwing up or has any other changes. She acts like nothing's wrong but we are concerned something has happened internally either from the surgery or post op. Any advice on what may be causing this or what we can do to help her get better would be GREATLY appreciated. This is my mom's first dog, which I got her for Christmas last year, and it would absolutely destroy her is she passed away ):

Hi. I had a chihuahua that was roughly 16 years old. She weighed 3 1/2 pounds. She had bloody discharge, she wouldn't eat, she vomited and was so weak that she couldn't get off of the couch. I brought her to an emergency vet. They did some blood work and they said her kidneys were failing. They tried antibiotic treatment and they said she looked worse after the treatment and didn't think she would make it through the rest of the day. She had two very large fluid filled sacs in her uterus that caused belly distension. The doctor told me that she wasn't a good candidate for surgery. She recommended Euthanasia. I had never heard of Pyometra and didn't want her to be in pain. I agreed to it and I miss her every day. I am wondering if I made the right decision. I am not a vet and I am wondering if more could have been done for her.

My 9 year old chihuahua had pyometra surgery On Saturday May 18, the first days were extremely hard she wasn’t eating or drinking water and didn’t want to walk. By Wednesday she started to eat and drink water but we noticed that her breathing wasn’t normal. She won’t stop panting and it gets worse at night, we’ve been back and forth from different animal hospitals and they say that her X-rays are normal, she’s gaining weight and her gums are pink but they don’t know why she is constantly breathing so fast and loud. Her meds aren’t making anything better and we are very concerned that something is wrong. Has anyone else experienced this with there animal and if so what helped?
