» Gunjan75 - Does my dog have pyometra

I live in a small place with no good vet for hel. My boxer dog was crossed with a stray dog at the age of ten months .Worried we called for the vet who gave her a 'depot provera' treatment to avoid a bad litter.About two months or so later she had a vaginal discharge problem that was pinkish brown and creamy . It smelt like a raw egg. we again got her treated with antibiotics this time and she was fine for a while but now every two months she has the same problem. Other than the discharge she has no other symptoms. No fever, she remails Very active and playful does not dring excessive water and is never depressed or eating low.
Does she have pyometra?
What treatment can I give her ? Is there any online vet help available?
Will getting her crossed once help in any way?

It's is hard to say without seeing the dog. It might be a pyometra, if it is it would be considered open, meaning the pus is able to drain out. If it is closed, it is life threatening without emergency surgery.

To avoid the problem get her spayed. If it is a pyometra I believe (not 100% sure) she'll keep getting them or at least have a 50% chance of reaccurence until she is spayed.

Call the vet who treats her and ask if it is a pyometra and what the recommendation is.

One more thing, by crossed do you mean bred? I believe that if she has had a pyometra the chances of pregnancy go way down. If she does have a pyometra I doubt she'll be able to carry a litter.
