3. Pyo/metra Pyometra 1.Definition
Pyometra is an accumulation of pus in the uterine cavity. Pyo means pus and metra refers to uterus.1 It is a result of hormonal changes; increased levels of progesterone without a pregnancy, that cause secretory fluids to build up and possibly become infected with bacteria. Pyometras can be open (cervix open) or closed (cervix closed).
Pyometra can be seen in both dogs and cats, but more common in dogs. Pyometra is seen 4 to 8 weeks after estrus, sometimes longer.
