ENDOCRINE AND BIOCHEMICAL CHANGES IN PYOMETRA IN BITCHES

Abstract
Canine pyometra has been studied extensively in the past few decades to findthe causes and prognostic markers associated with this infective disease of intact bitches, whichis known to cause a systemic inflammatory responses leading to multiple systemicdysfunctions. Besides the well described clinical symptoms andsystemic effects of this disease, limited research on acute phase proteins, antioxidativestatus and lipid peroxidation profile of this condition was done, although hormonal effects have been repeatedly investigated to determine the exact pathophysiology of the disease. In the present study,the changes in hormonal assay, acute phase proteins, antioxidative status and lipid peroxidation of the pyometra affected bitches both pre-operatively and post-operatively till 14days of ovariohysterectomy was studied.
