Abstract: Pyometra is a prevalent and deadly condition that affects mainly bitches and is marked by a bacterial infection in the uterus that progresses to a systemic sickness. Based on the patency of the cervix, the condition is usually categorised as either open or closed type. The purpose of the study was to compare the alterations in hem biochemical and clinical parameters in pyometras with an open and closed cervix. The clinical cases were split up into three groups. The open cervix, closed cervix and control (healthy) group. Clinical symptoms included vomiting, abdominal distension, sadness, vaginal discharge, anorexia, and polyuria/polydipsia. BUN (blood urea nitrogen) and creatinine activity were substantially greater in dogs with closed cervix pyometra compared to those with open cervix pyometra (p< 0.05). In dogs with closed cervix pyometra, the number of white blood cells and neutrophils were significantly higher than in dogs with open cervix pyometra (p< 0.05). An ultrasonographic study revealed that the luminal cavity in open cervix pyometra had less anechoic fluid than in closed cervix pyometra.
