Cat Illnesses - Pyometra Pyometra occurs when the cat's uterus is either over-sensitive or over-exposed to progesterone. This leads to cyst formation, and eventually serious bacterial infection. A cat suffering from pyometra will usually have a discharge from the vagina consisting mainly of blood and pus. It may also - in common with a lot of cat problems - suffer a loss of appetite, dehydration, thirst, vomiting, fever, increased white cell count and anaemia. Pyometra is one of the more serious cat illnesses. It can lead to serious infection and death, so it is important to seek prompt treatment. This will probably involve spaying the cat and administering antibiotics. Sometimes a vet will recommend hormonal and antibiotic treatment only, but the pyometra can return the next time the cat is in heat.
Metritis means - 'inflammation in the uterus' 'Itis' means inflammation, 'Metra' is Greek for uterus or womb, 'Pyo is Greek for pus So Pyometra means 'pus in the uterus' Pyometra can occur subsequent to metritis, or spontaneously, and is a life threatening condition.
(The word antibiotic is used as a noun to mean a drug that is used to treat bacterial infections. The adjective "antibiotic" is used to describe drugs or treatments that perform the same function.) Examples: "Penicillin is one type of antibiotic." "Antibiotic ointments are used to prevent cuts from becoming infected."
Metritis is inflammation of the uterine wall while pyometra is purulent material (pus) within the uterus. While both are often caused by bacterial infections, metritis involves the layers of the uterus while a pyometra can be confined to just the empty space surrounded by the uterus.
