1. Pathogenesis Risk: It is a veterinary emergency occurring 1 to 2 months after heat, where E. coli invades and multiplies, filling the uterus with pus while the uterine immunity is extremely lowered by excess progesterone.
2. Early Detection of Closed-Type: Unlike the open type where pus flows out, the closed type has no discharge. It is accompanied by uterine distension (potbelly), vomiting, and PU/PD. If it ruptures within 48 hours, it leads to sudden death from sepsis.
3. Rapid Surgery and Care: Immediately upon ultrasound diagnosis, proceed with an ovariohysterectomy to prevent rupture. Post-op, prescribe a low-fat, high-amino acid hydrating diet (like boiled lean white fish) to support liver function.
[Empathy]
I deeply embrace the lonely and tearing pain you must have felt, hands trembling as you signed the anesthesia consent form for your child going onto the cold operating table, praying and thinking, “It’s all my fault, I should have prevented her from getting sick.” Please do not blame yourself. Your choice to proceed with the surgery right now for your child’s life is a stronger and more noble proof of love than any regret. Ansim-i will always stand by you as a sturdy set of wings, right down to the post-op immune prescriptions, so that you can stroke your child’s head and wipe your tears when she wakes up in the recovery room, breathing softly after successfully having the tumors and pus removed. Stay strong! 🐾
