[Diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of the pyometra-endometritis complex in dogs].

652 bitches suffering from the pyometra-endometritis complex were divided into three groups. General condition and the haemogramm were examined. The bitches of group III (n = 220) had greatest disturbances, and the mortality rate was high, especially in bitches with uterine rupture (50%). The healing rate of 63.7% in this group is the result of a special treatment schedule that is also possible under practical conditions.
