🚨🐾 Let’s Talk PYOMETRA! 🐾🚨

Sounds like a dinosaur name… but Pyometra is actually a VERY serious and life-threatening infection of the uterus seen in unspayed female dogs and cats. 😳

💡 “Pyo” = pus
💡 “Metra” = uterus

Yep… it literally means a uterus filled with infection.

🩺 Most commonly seen in:
🐶 Female dogs
🐱 Female cats
➡️ Usually middle-aged or older pets that are NOT spayed

⚠️ Symptoms to watch for:
• Lethargy / acting tired
• Not eating 🍽️
• Vomiting 🤢
• Drinking LOTS of water 💧
• Frequent urination
• Bloated abdomen
• Vaginal discharge (sometimes)
• Fever
• Weakness

🚨 Here’s the tricky part:
Sometimes there is NO visible discharge at all, making it harder to catch! This is called a “closed pyometra” and can become an emergency VERY quickly.

🩻 Treatment:
Pyometra is considered an emergency situation and often requires:
✔️ Emergency surgery (spay)
✔️ IV fluids
✔️ Antibiotics
✔️ Hospitalization

Without treatment, the infection can spread through the body and become fatal.

✨ GOOD NEWS ✨
Pyometra is almost entirely PREVENTABLE!

🐾 The best prevention?
➡️ Spaying your pet before complications develop.

Not only does spaying help prevent pyometra, but it also reduces the risk of certain cancers and other reproductive emergencies.

What a BEAUTIFUL stretch of weather we are having here in New Hampshire! ☀️🐾 We hope everyone is getting outside and enjoying the sunshine with their furry family members.

As temperatures begin to warm up, here are a few important hot weather safety reminders for cats and dogs:

🌡️ Never leave pets in a parked car , even for a few minutes
💧 Always provide fresh, cool water and shade outdoors
🐶 Avoid hot pavement during walks to protect sensitive paw pads
😺 Indoor pets can still overheat keep cool spaces available
🚫 Watch for signs of heat exhaustion: excessive panting, lethargy, drooling, vomiting, or weakness

And yes… TICKS and MOSQUITOS are officially out in full force! 🦟🕷️
Don’t forget your preventatives! Tick-borne diseases and heartworm disease are very real risks here in NH even for indoor pets. Prevention is the best protection. Call us if your pet needs refills or to discuss the best options for your pet’s lifestyle.

🇺🇸 Holiday Reminder:
Meredith Animal Hospital will be CLOSED:
• Monday, May 25th for Memorial Day
• Friday, May 29th

Please plan accordingly for medications, food, and appointments ahead of time.

We hope everyone enjoys the sunshine safely and has a wonderful upcoming holiday weekend! ☀️🐕🐈
