My dog's pyometra returned, now she's weak and restless. Help!

Question

My female cocker spaniel has got open pyometra, which was treated by antibiotics and it was alright until her next oestrus cycle, which happened again and now she is not tending to walk as she doesn't seem to find much strength in her back feet and she's also restless. But she has no signs of vomiting, loss of appetite and lethargy... What should be done in this case if urgent?? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 8 years and 1 month old | 39.68 lbs

Hello. If this is her second episode, you should really consider having her spayed. Unfortunately, she may just continue to have these infections & each time they may get a little worse. You certainly should have her seen by your veterinarian now to restart antibiotics, but in the long run, she will be healthier getting that uterus out of her.
