Could my unspayed dog's slimy urine and poor appetite be pyometra?

Question

I noticed when she urinates it's slimy no smell and color is yellow. But very smily. I don't know what's wrong with her. And she only urinates about once a day .twice on a good day . Bowel movements are once every 3 or 4 days. And she's bearly eating now. She'll take a few bites out of her bowl but he food will just sit there water intake is great though please help. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 6 years and 4 months old | 7 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Cinnabunz! If she is not eating then she will not make any stool. I am most concerned about the poor appetite. If this is not normal for her then that needs to be our biggest concern. I worry that maybe the slime or mucous you are seeing in her urine is actually coming from her vulva and not her urine. Since she is not spayed, every time she is sick we are going to be concerned about an infected uterus (pyometra) which is life threatening. Intact female dogs can also get hydro or mucometras. I would bring a urine sample with you to an appointment with your Vet. At least do an exam, check her urine and blood work. If the Vet is also suspicious for uterine disease an X-ray is needed. I wish you the best!
