Description Twenty-nine clinical pyometra cases and twelve panhysterectomised biopsy samples were studied. The occurrence of pyometra was highest in the middle-aged bitches (6-8 years). Doberman and Spitz breeds were found to be more predisposed, Haematological studies indicated a normocytic, normochromic anaemia and leucocytosis with absolute neutrophilia in pyometra. Biochemical estimations revealed elevation of serum urea nitrogen, creatinine, AST, ALT, ALP and globulin and hypoalbuminaemia. Proteinuria was observed in the affected cases. The CRP and MPO levels were elevated in pyometra cases. Grossly, the ovaries consistently contained multiple corpora lutea. Uterus was dilated and distended with creamy to chocolate coloured purulent material. Histopathology of the ovaries contained multiple luteal cysts and occasional follicular cysis. The uterus showed marked degeneration, necrosis and inflammation of endometrium and myometrium and glandular hyperplasia with cystic distension and atrophic changes
