Pyometra poses a grave risk to the health of animals, particularly dogs and cats, as it involves a dangerous infection in the uterus leading to the accumulation of bacteria and pus. The recommended course of action for treating pyometra is a surgical procedure known as ovariohysterectomy (OVH), which involves the removal of the infected uterus.
For those seeking an estimate of the cost for OVH at AVCI, the following rates can be used as a reference:
- Pets weighing 1-8 kg: P16,000
- Pets weighing 8.1-16 kg: P20,000
- Pets weighing 16.1-24 kg: P24,000
- Pets weighing over 24 kg: P30,000
It’s important to note that the figures mentioned above do not encompass additional expenses such as medications, admissions, veterinary fees, and professional fees. It’s crucial to understand that OVH is a vital, albeit not standalone, treatment for pyometra.
Post-surgery, the animal will require continued hospitalization, as fluids and medications are essential for a complete and successful recovery. This holistic approach is integral to effectively managing and overcoming the challenges posed by pyometra.
