What It IsPyometra is a large collection of pus within the uterus of the female chinchilla. 1 CausesPyometra may happen after conditions of metritis or placenta remaining behind in the uterus after the delivery of the litter. Pyometra can also occur in female chinchillas that have never been bred.1 When a female goes into heat, the urethra opens up which can let bacteria in. Symptoms
What To DoThis is an emergancy situation. This can not wait to be treated. Your chinchilla needs antibiotics right away and may need to have a full hysterectomy by a knowledgeable chinchilla vet. If you don't already see a vet, please visit our exotic Vets & ERs to find a vet or ER near you.
