Cost to spay a dog with pyometra? Are there discounts or vouchers?

The cervix may have closed making it a "closed pyometra" in which case they get more sick. She could also have septicemia where the bacteria is now in her bloodstream. Please take her for help. This is not likely something that is going to go away with amoxicillin. There are plenty of low cost spay/neuter clinics that will do surgery on a pyometra. There are also plenty of organization that offer financial help to people that need to pay vet bills.

Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Precautionary measures include getting a physical exam and blood sample taken prior to surgery to make sure there are no underlying health issues that would compromise her ability to make through surgery or handle the anesthetic given during surgery. During surgery, her blood pressure, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation should be monitored. IV fluids are typically given during surgery to help maintain blood pressure and provide hydration. After surgery, her incision may be iced every 2-3 hours and she may be given antibiotics and anti inflammatory medications. Her incision should be check within 24 hours after the surgery to ensure there is no bleeding occurring or fluid building underneath the incision. A recheck exam should be conducted within 10-14 days after surgery. I hope this helps!

A pyometra is an infection of the uterus, so Tiny already has one. From the picture, that looks like a lot of bloody discharge, and a pyometra is fatal without treatment. She needs treatment now or this could be fatal. I would see if you can borrow money from family and friends, and I can also give you some resources to see if that helps. You can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ God's Creatures Ministry helps pay for veterinarian bills for those who need help.
 The Onyx & Breezy Foundation has many programs including helping people with medical bills. They are a good resource for information.
 Brown Dog Foundation provides funding to families with a sick pet that would likely respond to treatment, but due to circumstances, there is not enough money immediately available to pay. IMOM is dedicated to insure that no companion animal has to be euthanized simply because their caretaker is financially challenged. Tiny has to see a vet now, please take her into one asap. I hope one of these resources helps you!

Hello, This is a forum for general pet advice. You will have to contact local veterinarians for estimates for surgical procedures. As Brooklyn needs to be neutered for health reasons, this means it is not a routine and simple procedure though. Extra costs are incurred when the surgery becomes complicated due to reproductive and age related diseases. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hello, sorry to hear about Laika. Success ratios for pyometras (infected uterus) may differ between regions. However, most pyometra surgeries are up to 90% successful. Complications associated with this surgery include bleeding, peritonitis, spread of infection and abnormal heart rhythms. In a paper published in 2014, they found that these complications can be seen post-operatively in about 25% of cases. Post surgery Laika should be exercise restricted for 2 weeks until her stitches (if any) are removed. She should wear a cone to avoid her licking at her own incision and your veterinarian will likely give you antibiotics and pain medications to give her at home. Not following strict exercise restriction and wearing a cone may lead to her incision re-opening up or becoming infected. Post the 2 week period, Laika may resume her normal lifestyle. The only way to avoid this disease is by spaying her in her early age. This is generally a big surgery, we are going into the abdomen to remove infected friable tissue. So therefore, it is no longer considered a routine spay and as previously discussed, there are some complications that can be associated wth this procedure. Unfortunately, the other option to treat medically has only been proven to be about 60% effective in one paper and 25% on most other papers with a high re-currence rate. Ultimately the complication for not treating the pyometra or failed medical treatment includes a widespread infection which could lead to death. I would recommend moving forward with the surgery as soon as possible as it is the best way to treat this disease. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Leahlah! It's hard to tell from just looking at a mass what it is exactly. I can tell that the area around it is inflamed. There are benign masses (hemangioma) that can form on the skin and bleed. It also could just be infected. There are also masses that can be cancerous. I recommend that you clean the area gently with mild soap and water twice daily then apply a triple antibiotic cream. If the area doesn't start to improve by early next week, I would have it looked at. Some local SPCA's have low cost veterinary clinics. You can call your local shelters and see if they offer them. I hope this helps and I wish you and Leahlah the best!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! A pyometra in theory can result in tremors due to electrolyte imbalances. Regardless, this is a much more serious condition than anything else and one that warrants therapy as soon as possible as it is a surgical emergency. I highly recommend that you have Misty evaluated by a veterinarian for surgery. They can choose the safest anesthesia protocol for her. Best of luck!
