Why does a female dog die if it is not spade?
some female dogs that are not spayed may develop Pyometra which is an infection of the uterus. There is 'internal' Pyometra and 'external' Pyometra. With external, the dog will have a smelly discharge (typically after they have been in season). With internal there won't be any discharge and is therefore harder to detect. The condition is very serious and you are racing against time to save the life of your dog. Treatment requires removal of the uterus.
Can mucometra lead to pyometra?
Cystic endometrial hyperplasia (CEH) in the bitch(dog) can result in either pyometra, hematometra, or hydrometra, and many facets of these uterine diseases can make them difficult to differentiate. The conditions differ in their systemic effects, since pyometra, particularly closed-cervix pyometra, can be a life-threatening condition that must be recognized, managed, and treated expeditiously. Mucometra is an accumulation of sterile intraluminal mucoid fluid, hematometra is an accumulation of sterile, bloody fluid, and hydrometra is an accumulation of sterile, watery fluid; none of which have any significant systemic outward clinical signs. This paper will describe the definitions, signalment, historical findings, incidence, clinical signs, physical exam findings, and diagnostic findings in canine pyometra and mucometra, and hematometra and hydrometra.

Is it normal for a shihzhu dog to have a puss discharge from her Virginia?
No, a pus discharge is never normal from any part of a dog's body. Pus from the vagina can indicate a serious infection of the uterus, called pyometra. Pyometra most often affects unspayed female dogs, but occasionally a spayed female can get an infection in the uterine stump that always remains after spaying (where the uterus goes out to the vagina). This is called a stump pyometra. In the case of pyometra in an intact (unspayed) female, the most commonly recommended treatment is spay surgery followed by a hospital stay and a course of antibiotics. This type of pyometra can be very serious or even fatal if left untreated. Dogs can also get vaginal infections. In any case, any dog with pus discharge from the vagina or anywhere else needs to be seen by a vet, and have the infection treated.
