I'm going to add some info and organize everything. I do want this article to be a little more scientific, but let me know if I make any changes you don't like. Hopefully I will add a picture at some point. -- Joelmills 00:11, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citations

Can we get more cites in-line, and references, for more statements in this article? Theres nothing especially controversial and everything looks like cites should be easy to find for it, which would make the article well-referenced. FT2 (Talk | email) 19:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, those last few edits were mine. I didn't realize I wasn't logged in. --Joelmills 03:22, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stump Pyometra

Why was this reverted? This is a common condition, descriptions of which can be found in every veterinary textbook. --130.92.9.57 11:16, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Serious Disease

I just want to tell that this is a very serious infection: My doggy died last night because of Pyometra, but presented none of the symptoms described in the article, since she had a closed Pyometria. I propose adding the warning that the symptoms may not show up if the animal has this type of Pyometria under the Symptoms section, in order to concern the reader more about the severity of this desease. -- Antonioamunt 21:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I tried to clarify that in the symptoms section. Thanks for your input and I'm sorry to hear about your dog. -Joelmills 02:43, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks Joelmills for editiong the article. Now it looks more appropriate to the reality. Antonioamunt 14:28, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Treatment

Hi, I miss informations about medical treatment by Aglepristone (see de:Aglepriston), don't you use it in U.S./U.K.? It's not as dangerous as with Prostaglandines and its success-rate is about 70% in a Pyometra. [1] gx de:User:Kalumet --84.180.118.54 22:37, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm not too familiar with that drug. As far as I can tell from a web search, it's not approved for use in the United States. --Joelmills 22:51, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
