Two things, I had a bitch they saw one or two puppies with the ultrasound.....she had twelve a few weeks later. As far as Pyrometrea, the same bitch after having the pups started losing pups. Lost almost half the litter over a course of three/four days. No fever, eating taking care of pups, discharge normal. I thought something was worng. My vet to ease my worries, had get her blood drawn to get a white count to see if she has an infection. Her white cell count was extremely high, she did get Pyrometrea. If it were my bitch, I would get her blood drawn first, see what her levels are. If they are normal, don't spay her. Wait till her due date, see what happens. Get another opinion if she is still unsure. And then if the fluid is still there, and there are no pups then take things from there.

She had an ultrasound at four weeks and they thought that they saw one puppy. She had another a week later and they did not see any. She just had another one done and they see no puppies but a lot of fluid. She is acting normal, playing and eating well, no discharge of any kind and all her bloodwork is normal. The vet is trying to tell my friend that she has pyrometra...but she is acting fine and has no fever. the vet wants to spay her and my friend does not know what to do. Her question is this...will you see a lot of fluid in the uterous during a false pregnancy. Is there a chance that she could have pyrometra without acting sick or having a fever?? She needs some opinions from thers so that she can make a decision. TIA.
