RESUMO
Pyometra is a common disease in intact female canines characterized by an infection of the uterus. If it is not treated immediately, it could result in various complications such as fistulous tract development, sepsis, hemorrhage, uveitis, conjunctivitis, pyelonephritis, urinary tract infection, and myocarditis. In this case report, we highlight the benefits of the application of a topical ointment on wound healing after ovariohysterectomy in canine Pyometra. Following surgical intervention, the dog developed necrosis in her nipples and lost a portion of her mammary tissues. A large cyst formed and later ruptured, leaving the animal with a large wound. The vet applied a topical ointment, AlpaWash, to the affected area and prescribed antibiotic, analgesic, and antiinflammatory drugs to help manage the condition. The vet reported complete healing of the wounds within one month from the commencement of the treatment regimen.
