Hi All
My oldest doe has a smelly yellow discharge from her vagina. She is approx. 8 or 9 years old, and is unspayed.
She is on 0.5ml baytril twice a day since Monday.
My vet says it could possibly develop into pyometra.
I'm unsure what to do. Do I try to clear the infection with antibiotics and hope that the infection doesn't get worse?, or do I opt for an emergency spay and pray that she pulls through despite her advanced age?
I *think* my vet wants to treat her with antibiotics until she is so unwell she has to be PTS. I have an appointment on Monday, so will discuss it with him then.
I fear that I'm condemning her to a slow death if I DON'T spay, and possibly hastening her death if I DO spay.
Does anybody have any advice, experience, opinions that might help me make a decision? Please!
