Abstract: The present investigation aimed to analyse reproductive issues in dogs with a history of pyometra at the Veterinary Clinical Complex of Nagpur Veterinary College, Nagpur, and private veterinary clinics during the period from April 2022 to July 2023. Pyometra, a reproductive condition affecting approximately 25% of female dogs before the age of ten, is most prevalent in intact, diastral bitches. Specifically, it involves the accumulation of pus within the uterine lumen, typically occurring during or shortly after a period of progesterone dominance. There are two types of pyometra: closed cervix and open cervix. Closed cervix pyometra is particularly hazardous. The most commonly isolated pathogen from pyometra is E. coli. Despite the advancements in medical care, pyometra still carries a 4% fatality rate.
