Abstract
The aim of the study was to compare the bio-chemical and histopathological changes with the
ultrasonographic findings of uterine wall thickness in bitches affected with pyometra. The study was
conducted in 30 experimental and 10 control bitches. There was a significant (P<0.05) elevation in the
serum BUN, creatinine, globulin and total protein levels in pyometra affected bitches. During
ultrasonongphic examination the uterine wall thickness was measured using electronic calipers. In normal
bitches the uterine wall thickness was 2.56 mm whereas the thickness increased from 8.92 mm to 18.23 mm
in the affected bitches. The biochemical profiles were correspondingly higher as the uterine wall thickness
increased. The loss of endometrial surface, enlargement of endometrial glands and bursting of glands were
noticed during histopathological examination as the wall thickness increased.
