This is Scooby visiting us after her major operation last week.

Scooby ( pictured with our nurses Lisa and Pamela) had an operation for pyometra.Pyometra is a serious womb infection. It is very common in unneutered bitches that have not had a litter. Usually occurs weeks after last heat and a vaginal discharge is commonly seen. Common signs to look out for are excessive drinking and urination and bitch is very sick… Treatment is usually an operation to remove the infected uterus. In Scoobys case it has been successful. This operation in an old dog has a very high anaesthetic risk….
