Pyometra:
The term means pus in the uterus. Any time a veterinarian is presented
with a dog or cat suffering from pyometra, the condition is considered
serious and immediate surgery is nearly always indicated. This pus formation
in the uterus results from infection, hormone imbalance, or mucous buildup
inside the uterus. Most dogs and cats suffering from pyometra are presented
because of loss of energy, increased thirst and poor appetite. Plus
a good tip-off would be a foul smelling, purulent (means pus) vaginal
discharge. Most of the cases of pyometra I've seen in dogs occurred
about six weeks after the bitch's last heat cycle. They may not look
it on the outside, but on the inside, these dogs are really sick! If
that swollen, enlarged uterus happens to rupture internally, the dog
will rapidly go into endotoxic shock and whatever the veterinarian does
may not be enough to save the dog.
Soft
Tissue : A few of the most common surgery procedures are: ear canal
surgery, Perineal Hernias, intestinal obstruction removal, tumor removal
surgeries, bladder stone removal, draining an abscess, hematoma surgery,
puppy ear cropping, cat declaw, and dog dewclaw.
Dental
: One of the best things a pet owner can do to ensure the overall
health of their pet is to do routine checking of the teeth, gums, and
oral cavity. An unhealthy oral cavity will have all sorts of bacteria,
gingervitis and plaque, if left untreated will cause gum and inner lip
ulcerations, receding gums, cavities, and root exposure. Bacteria can
enter through oral lesions called Bacteremia. Bacterial Endocarditis
is a condition caused if the bacteria settle and reproduce in the lining
of the heart or heart valves. It is common for a pet to suffer from
kidney damage and joint problems due to bacterial invasion via the oral
lesions. Severly damaged and loose teeth should be x-rayed before and
after the dental and tooth extraction procedures.
