Not sure whether to spay your female dog or cat?

Here is why you should:  Know this one good reason why: Pyometra is a life-threatening uterine infection that lands unspayed female pets in the ER all the time. 

What makes this condition extra worrisome is that it progresses fast and is fatal if not treated promptly.

Warning signs of pyometra in pets:

Pain — whining or crying

Lethargy — a lack of interest in everyday activities or tiredness

Increased thirst — the water bowl needs refills faster than usual

Increase urination — more frequent outdoor visits

Vaginal discharge — in some cases, in others, it may go undetected

The good news? Spaying prevents pyometra 100%.  Talk to your primary care vet about the benefits of spaying.
