Eight weeks ago, my dog was diagnosed with pyometra, just days after she had been bred. For a breeder, that is a devastating diagnosis: in a matter of days, you switch from a healthy dog and dreams of her future puppies, to dealing with a sick loved one and the loss of the dream as well. Most vets play the odds, and when they find pyometra will spay the dog immediately. The rare vet who tries to choose the best candidates for antibiotic therapy will probably not choose you and your dog. If you are given that chance, your dog will still probably get worse instead of better, and need an emergency spay within a few days. Even if your dog does respond well to the antibiotics, scarring to the uterus may prevent her ever becoming pregnant in the future or carrying a litter to term. If she is already bred and pregnant when she develops the infection, chances of holding that pregnancy are next to none.
