Why is my dog drinking, peeing, tired, with discharge after heat?

In an eight year old unspayed dog, the symptoms you are describing may be consistent with pyometra, or an infection of the uterus. This is generally considered an emergency that should be addressed as soon as possible. The uterus fills up with pus and infectious material, and can ultimately result in a severe systemic infection. I recommend taking Bella in to the vet for an exam right away so they can determine if this is the issue. The best thing to do for her if it is, is removing her uterus and ovaries. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am afraid that this is more concerning this time. It may be due to an infection such as Pyometra or something else. For that reason, I recommend that you have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They can then decide what would be best after evaluating her. Best of luck!

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I am sorry to hear Leah isn't feeling well. I recommend taking her to a vet as soon as possible. It is hard to say for sure what is going on, but she could have a urinary tract infection or an infection inside her uterus. I am more concerned about the infection in her uterus and if that is the case, she needs immediate medical attention. The vet will likely need to check blood work and maybe take radiographs. If there is an infection, she may require surgery to remove her uterus. If not, they may need to start her on antibiotics. Good luck and kisses to Leah!

These signs are quite concerning as they could be compatible with a infection of the uterus called pyometra. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed.

Hi and thanks for your request. These signs may be compatible with a uterine infection, which often causes increased drinking levels. The infection can cause accumulation of pus inside the uterus which may not be visible in the initial stages of this problem. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed.

Drinking more than usual, loss of appetite, or vomiting are all classic signs of an infection if the uterus also known as a pyometra. These are more common in older dogs. These can become very serious and even life threatening if left untreated. I would strongly advise that you gave a veterinarian examine Misty right away.

Hello and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I think Belle needs to see a veterinarian right away. She may have a very serious uterine infection called a pyometra or a very serious urinary tract infection from your description and that picture. A pyometra is life threatening and requires antibiotics and often surgery to treat so I would get Belle to a veterinarian to be examined as soon as possible.
