Pyometra can cause damage to the lining of the womb and can reduce fertility. In many cases a 14day course of antibiotics will clear the infection in young bitches but if symptoms persist or recur before her next cycle the chances of successful breeding are much reduced and surgical neutering may be recommended. If breeding is intended, it should be done on the next heat cycle
