Hello. The pus in her uterus is a very serious condition called pyometra. Usually, the best way to deal with this is to perform an ovariohysterectomy & spay her. The only time to consider treating this condition with medications is if Chuski is a valuable breeding animal. But you are risking her health & she could die from this. Please consider the surgery. Most dogs do very well if it is done before they get too sick. I hope she is feeling better soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
