pyometra is more common in (species)
dog
pyometra usually presents when
8 weeks after last oestrus
3 things needed for pyo formation
- cystic endometrial hyperplasia
- open cervix
- progesterone (immunosuppressive)
diagnos pyo
- ultrasound
- on radiograph can get pregnancy confused with pyo
tx vaginal trauma
conservative tx usually works
vaginal/vestibulo neoplasia common types
- leiomyoma - benign smooth muscle tumour most common
- leiomyosarcoma - malignant is less common
vaginal hyperplasia occur due to
excessive response of vaginal mucosa to oestrogens in follicular phase
vaginal hyperplasia causes
vaginal oedema then proplapse
what breed more predisposed to vaginal prolapse
brachycephalic breeds
treatment vaginal proplapse
- conservative keep it moist and sutures
- surgical excision

- systemically ill
orchitis/epididymitis can
abscessation through the scrotum
orchitis/epididymitis if chronic
