Abstract

Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine were estimated in 20 bitches suffering from pyometra. Azotemia (BUN> 30
mg/di and/or plasma creatinine > 2 mg/di) was recorded in l O (50%) patients. The bitches were treated with medicines and/ or
surgically for pyometra and their responses were studied. Death/complications occurred in 40 % of the azotemic bitches. The
bitches suffering from pyometra with initial plasma BUN and creatinine levels of more than 120 mg/di and 5 mg/di, respectively,
had a poor prognosis.
