Abstract

Pyometra is a disease hormonally mediated caused by intrauterine bacterial infection with exudate mucopurulent accumulation resulting from prolonged e repeated hormonal stimulation associated with bacterial infection. The pyometra is intimately related to the use of progestogens either to inhibit estrus or for therapeutic purposes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the profile of population canine diagnosticated with pyometra attended at Veterinary Hospital (HV) of the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB). We conducted a survey of medical records and selected cases of dogs diagnosed pyometra. Regarding age, adult and elderly bitches were the most affected with the most prevalent type open. It is concluded that pyometra occurs mainly in adult and elderly dogs attended at the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Paraíba, being the most prevalent open type. However, the use of contraceptives in young and adult patients was high, being considered a pathogenic factor for the onset of this disease, especially in adult bitches.
