Hello there! I'm so sorry to hear that your senior dog is going through this. Pyometra is a serious infection of the uterus that can happen in unspayed females. When treated early with antibiotics, there's a chance of improvement, but sometimes surgery is necessary for a full recovery.
At home, make sure your dog is comfortable and has a quiet place to rest. It's important she stays hydrated, so encourage her to drink water. Since she's on antibiotics, keep an eye on how she's responding to them—some dogs can have tummy troubles like vomiting or diarrhea. If this happens, let your vet know right away.
Watch for signs that might indicate her condition is worsening or that she may need urgent care, such as a lack of appetite, excessive drinking, increased urination, lethargy, or if she is experiencing vomiting or abdominal pain. Any discharge from her vulva, or if she seems to be in pain, should also prompt a call to your vet.
Remember, while at-home care is supportive, pyometra can be life-threatening, and surgical intervention is often the definitive treatment. If you notice any concerning signs or if you're unsure about her progress, please book a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. We’re here to help guide you through this challenging time.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
