🔥HER UTERUS WAS A TICKING TIME BOMB (And Your Dog Could Be Next)

⚠️1 in 4 unspayed dogs develop this DEADLY condition by age 10.
Would YOU recognize the signs before it's too late?

💀PYOMETRA: THE SILENT KILLER VETS FEAR MOST:

She was perfectly healthy... until she wasn't.

✅ Early Warning Signs (Easy to Miss):
• Acting "off" or lethargic
• Slight vaginal discharge
• Drinking excessively
• Loss of appetite

🚨Late-Stage EMERGENCY:
• Swollen belly (pus-filled uterus)
• Vomiting or collapse
• 72-hour window to fatal sepsis

🩺HOW IT'S TREATED (IF YOU'RE LUCKY):

1️⃣ Emergency ultrasound → Reveals a toxic,
swollen uterus (swipe to see Xray).
2️⃣ Race against time → Emergency spay surgery.
3️⃣ ICU + IV antibiotics→ Costs 3X more than
preventive spaying—if the dog survives.

📉 Survival odds drop 25% EVERY DAY atter symptoms start.

💡THE LIFE-SAVING FIX:
✨SPAYING = 100% PREVENTION✨
(No uterus, no pyometra. No emergency. No heartbreak.)

🔥 SHARE TO SAVE LIVES:
Tag someone who needs to see this! Most dog owners don't know pyometra exists until it's too late.
