Cystic endometrial hyperplasia-pyometra complex in cats. A review

Abstract

Presentation of complex cystic endometrial hyperplasia-pyometra is not very common in cats. As in bitches, hormonal influences result in environmental and histological changes in the uterus leading to predisposition to bacterial growth. Its influence on the organism provokes certain clinical signs. Diagnosis and treatment must be fast and aggressive. Depending on the clinical status and queen purpose, it can be both surgical or medical. Both of them offer a high rate of success if the detailed protocols are followed. © 2005 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
