    ABSTRACT: The present clinical study was conducted on 25 dogs presented for treatment of canine pyometra. Out of these, 20 dogs (80%) had open pyometra and 5 dogs (20%) had closed pyometra. The mean age of incidence was found to be 8.2 years. Out of 25 dogs presented for treatment, I5 (60%) dogs were nulliparous, 5 dogs (20%) were primiparous and the remaining 5 dogs (20%) were multiparous. The Spitz breed (14 i.e. 56%) followed by German Shepherd and Mongrels were found to be affected in that order. Escherichia coli was isolated from the vaginal discharge of 23 dogs while in other two, mixed cultures of Sfaphyloccous sp. and E.coli were isolated. Radiography was found to be an effective diagnostic aid in confirmation of closed pyometra. llltrosonography was found to be a useful diagnostic procedure for confirmation of both open and closed pyornetra. Haematological evaluation revealed leukocytes with neutrophilia preoperatively which returned to normal levels by the 7Ih post-operative day in all the dogs that survived surgical treatment. The prognosis in the bitches that had elevated blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels prior to surgery was found to be poor. The increased preoperative Aspertate amino transferase, Alanine amino transferase, blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels returned to normal or near normal levels by 7" post-operative day pointing to the curative effect of ovarioliysterectomy. All the cases of open pyometra recovered uneventfully after surgery with minimal post-operative complications. Three bitches died following surgical treatment of closed pyometra. Gross pathological observations included the involvement of both the uterine horns with mild to moderate accumulation of pus in open pyometra. Greatly distended uterine horns with heavy accumulation of pus was noticed in all cases of closed pyometra. The ovaries in all the cases showed the presence of multiple corpora lutea and graffian follicles. Histopathological examination revealed variable degrees of cystic endometrial hyperplasia and infiltration of inflammatory cells depending upon the severity of the disease. Histopathological examination of the ovaries revealed the presence of developing follicles and multiple regressing corpora lutea. No major complications were recorded in the present clinical study following ovariohysterectomy. It was concluded that ovariohysterectomy is the most appropriate choice and potentially curative as the surgical extirpation has been expedient and offered immediate benefit by resolving most of the complications associated with pyometra
