Severe Dental Disease right before a dental
cleaning

ultrasonic scaler and polishing
This is a uterus that is full of pus (pyometra).  This
female dog was not spayed when younger and
developed a life threatening infection in her
uterus.  The  treatment is to do a spay surgery,
but it is high risk and some dogs do not survive
this disease.  The risks are much lower to spay a
younger dog, preferably before she has a heat
cycle or puppies.  It can also happen in cats that
are not spayed.
