What are the symptoms of pyometra in cats? In fact, there are not many cases of pyometra in cats, because the sterilization rate of cats in China is relatively high, and sterilized cats can completely avoid pyometra. This problem occurs.

1. Cause:

If the ovaries function abnormally and secrete too much progesterone (progesterone), it can stimulate the growth and secretion of endometrial glands, which can cause fluid to accumulate in the uterine cavity and increase the uterine cavity. At the same time, progesterone can also counteract the contraction of uterine muscles, which also promotes the accumulation of fluid in the uterus. If secondary bacterial infection occurs at this stage, pus will form in the uterus, or if infection does not occur, clear uterine effusion will form. In addition, experimental studies have confirmed that exogenous hormone therapy, such as estrogen and progesterone, can also cause uterine effusion-pyometra. Therefore, caution must be exercised when using such hormones on unneutered female cats. Statistics from a foreign trap-neuter-return program for stray cats show that the incidence rate of pyometra is 0.4% (12/3000).

2. Symptoms:

1. The main symptoms of cats suffering from pyometra include vaginal discharge or no purulent secretions, sometimes with blood.

2. Increased abdominal circumference, usually manifested by anorexia and weight loss, and in severe cases vomiting symptoms.

3. The spirit is relatively poor. Due to the absorption of endotoxins in the body, the body is in a weak state.

4. Since the toxin also inhibits the hematopoietic function of the bone marrow, sick cats will also show severe anemia.
