The emergency contraceptive pill (morning-after pill), comprising concentrated hormonalcompounds, is sold freely in Brazil. The objective of this article was to report a case of pyometra in a bitch possibly causedby simultaneous administration of human emergency contraceptive pill along with a veterinary contraceptive medication.Case: A 6-year-old bitch was referred to a Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital for abdominal enlargement. Accordingto the guardian, during estrus (30 days before the consultation) the female dog was covered. After intercourse, the owneradministered a human emergency contraceptive pill (morning-after pill - Levonorgestrel) and a veterinary contraceptive(Estradiol Cypionate). Physical examination revealed severe dehydration (10%) and high temperature, besides the abdominalenlargement. The hemogram revealed leukocytosis with a left shift, characteristic of infection. After clinical examination,closed pyometra was suspected, and later confirmed by ultrasonography. Due to the poor clinical condition, fluid therapywas performed, and a systemic antibiotic was administered. After stabilization, the patient underwent ovariohysterectomy.In the postoperative period, the fluid therapy was continued, and antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drugs were administered.Two days after surgery, the patient was discharged for home recovery.Discussion: Most cases of drug poisoning in animals involve female dogs, similar to the patient in this report.
