Thought I would share my experience with Pyometra for others to learn from. I've had it twice. I had it in this bitch here, http://www.apbt.online-pedigrees.com...e&dog_id=95625 and had to spay her. She lives up to her pedigree and is still alive, so you can imagine my disdain for spaying her. Oh, I wish I knew then what I know now.

I bred this bitch http://www.apbt.online-pedigrees.com...&dog_id=421674

not too long ago. She come down with pyometra. I'll go into detail on how we got this licked, but I want you to know b/f hand, I have NEVER seen a dog this close to death live. I have seen them in all states of borderline death and this bitch takes the cake. Here's what I did to get her over it....and we ain't out the woods yet, but she should make it.

Day One - Penicillin and 1cc Baytril plus 1/2 CC of Prostaglandin
She acted much better but still showed a puss discharge too much for my liking.
Day Two - Penicillin and 1cc Baytril plus 1/2 CC of Prostaglandin
No discharge, so I decided to move forward with antibiotics only
Day Three - Penicillin and 1cc Baytril
Day Four - Penicillin and 1cc Baytril

Keep in mind, up until this point, this dog WILL NOT eat. Therefore, about every hour to two hours, I would give her 35cc of buttermilk and a squirt of honey. I got this from Gary Hammonds and if there is anyone who can keep a dead dog alive longer, I'd like to see them. Gary has had more "come back" than most of us will ever own.

Day Five - Penicillin and 1cc Batril - Force fed soft food
Day Six - Penicillin and 1cc Baytril - SHE LICKED HER FOOD AND ATE HERSELF

I continued on with the Pen and baytril it is now day 10 and she actually is eating and drinking on her own.

I might add, I did hit her with fluids under the skin and vitamin B complex shots each day for the first week as well. I think this made a big difference.

I want to add that I think the RAW diet plays a huge roll in this. She's only been eating for 3 days now, on her own, but b/c it's a ground mixture I make myself, I think it has helped her tremendously. Although she is very skeletal and weak, her coat is shiney and soft and today, she actually started to eat, not lick and shows a true hunger which I think is indicative of health.

Pyometra is some bad shit and I just wanted to share a success story in case anyone runs up against this crap.

Holler if you need me for any reason...............noquarterkennel@hotmail.com
