I cannot say that the following link is a vetinary journal of my dog Kita. I can tell you that my dog at ten years old developed pyrometra. She was in bad condition with a zero percent chance of living without surgery and even after surgery her condition was so bad she was still only given 45% rate of survival. Her being of strong spirit pulled her through and her case was so similar to this journal entry it is amazing. They called her the miracle dog at my vets. He also had me sign realeases saying that he wanted to add her case into a vet journal due to the severity of her condition due to the fact they were still able to save her with what they said was her having a uterus about nine times the size it should be and much larger than a human uterus. I just wanted to put this link out there for all my puppy pals so that their humans will be well aware of a condition I knew nothing of until my beloved dog all but died from it....and trust me on this...the surgery is very costly! to save your pet at this point....I would strongly suggest if you do not intend to use your dog for the purpose of breeding fix her...fix her....fix her....and read the following journal entry by going to this link.....
