English Bulldog mix's question about Pyuria

Question

I rescued Izzy off the street. She has been at the vet constantly since we found her march 19 this year. Round and hook worms, fatty tumer, emaciated, and in heat. Now I'm thinking it may be pyuria instead of being in heat. At one point she threw up. I want to spay her but she is never well enough to undergo surgery. Preop blood work was done that found she had a high level of cholesterol but then she threw up and began refusing to eat again. Could this be pyuria instead of her being in heat?

Accepted Answer

Pyuria is the presence of a high number of white blood cells or pus in the urine, the symptoms may be related to an urinary tract infection but your Veterinarian would need to determine that by examining the urine. Without examining Izzy myself and doing urinalysis I cannot say for certain. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM
