A 5-year-old intact female Golden retriever that had been bred 32 days ago was presented for evaluation of anorexia and a clear vaginal discharge. CBC showed neutrophilia.
Case Study
09_00155 Saffron R Metritis, no viable fetuses
Sonographic Differential Diagnosis
Metritis/pyometra. No viable fetuses. Medical treatment for metritis and uterine evacuation could be considered with recheck sonogram; however, given that this is an open pyometra, the chronic changes with the uterine wall will likely compromise future reproductive events and potentially put the patient at risk. Ovariohysterectomy is strongly recommended.
Image Interpretation
Uterus in this patient was dilated, thickened, fluid filled with echogenic debris consistent with metritis. No viable fetuses noted. Uterus measured 2 to 2.5 cm in width, wall thickness 0.81 cm.
