My dog was diagnosed with pyometra and? General Dog Discussions
My dad and I took our dog (5years old, not spayed) to the vet wednesday and she was diagnosed with pyometra. We can't afford the $2000 surgery so we went with the pills. (clavamox & ciprofloxacin)This is not the route we wanted to choose but we just don't have that money right now.The vet said her blood work came back pretty good and that her kidneys seem to be doing alright. Just a slightly high white blood count.She's been on the pills for 24hours now. Her appetite has increased and she seems to have more energy. It's just that I have noticed that the discharge has almost stopped coming out. Does this mean her open cervix could have closed?**I've read about this "CareCredit" credit card that my dad can apply for. He's hesitant because he's hoping that the medicine works. I've tried to explain the severity of pyometra but he just tells me to "have hope". I know she needs this surgery.If the antibiotics rid of the infection can we take her in for a regular spay?**If so, we would have to wait till november to get her spayed at the anti cruelty society near us. Even if the infection goes away, we don't have that much time, right?**This dog means the absolute world to me. I'm not sure what I would do without her.Please, if you're going to be rude, do not comment.
