Abstract

Pyometra is a disease with an inflammatory and infectious process, often resulting from cystic endometrial hyperplasia associated with bacterial proliferation, which leads to the accumulation of mucopurulent secretion in the uterus of species such as canine and feline. The present study used the retrospective data survey in order to measure the frequency of clinical and laboratory changes in pyometra cases seen at the University Hospital of Veterinary Medicine of the Federal University of Recôncavo da Bahia between the years 2016 and 2019. For this purpose, medical records were analyzed doctors between the aforementioned period and selected 85 cases of pyometra, confirmed by ultrasound examination or surgical procedure known as therapeutic ovariohysterectomy (OH). The study revealed a higher frequency of open pyometra both among bitches (85%) and in cats (83%). In addition, changes in laboratory tests were observed, such as neutrophilia leukocytosis with left shift, monocytosis and anemia. On clinical examination, apathy, depression, dehydration and emesis were observed. Pyometra both canine and feline is a pathology present in the routine of the medical and surgical clinic of the UFRB Veterinary Medicine Hospital. The highest frequency observed is of the open type in elderly bitches over 8 years old and young cats under 1 year of age and of mixed breed. In addition to these characteristics, we can highlight that anemia was the most significant finding in the erythrogram and leukocytosis due to neutrophilia with a left shift in the canine female leukogram as well as the presentation of clinical pictures of apathy and depression.
