🚨 Why Spaying Saves Lives 🚨

This is our 8th pyometra case in just TWO weeks.
Today’s uterus alone weighed 4 pounds.

Pyometra is a life-threatening uterine infection that occurs in unspayed female dogs, often weeks to months after a heat cycle. Hormonal changes cause the uterus to thicken and fill with infected fluid and pus. Bacteria can rapidly multiply, and the uterus can become massively enlarged—or even rupture.

If not treated immediately, pyometra can lead to:
• Sepsis (systemic infection)
• Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
• Kidney failure
• Uterine rupture
• Shock
• Death

Many dogs don’t show obvious signs until they are critically ill. Some never have vaginal discharge (“closed pyometra”), making it even more dangerous and harder to detect.

🚑 Emergency surgery is the ONLY cure.
These dogs are often unstable, require intensive care, IV fluids, antibiotics, blood products, and have a significantly higher surgical and anesthetic risk than a routine spay.

💔 Pyometra is 100% preventable.

Spaying is not just about preventing puppies—it prevents a medical emergency that can cost thousands of dollars and take a life in a matter of hours.

If your dog is not spayed, please talk to your veterinarian. Waiting can mean the difference between a routine procedure and a fight for survival.

Spay early. Spay safely. Spay to save her life.

🐾 Meet Lady — the Sweetest Pup Looking for Her Forever Home! 🐾

Say hello to Lady, a 3-year-old spayed female who has completely stolen our hearts. This adorable girl is up-to-date on all her preventative care and ready to start the next chapter of her life with a family to call her own.

Lady is a lovable, energetic pup with a gentle spirit. She’s great on a leash, house trained, and eager to learn — she just needs someone patient and committed to continuing her training and giving her the time and love she deserves.

✨ A few things to know about Lady:
• She has some seasonal allergies, so she may need a bit of extra care during certain times of the year.
• She’s been calm and unbothered around other animals so far.
• Lady can be a little slow to warm up to men, but with kindness and patience, she opens up beautifully.
• She’s full of energy, joy, and affection — the perfect companion for someone who enjoys an active lifestyle.

If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal, and lively new best friend, Lady might be the perfect match. 💛
Contact Animal Medical Center of Cartersville to learn more about adopting this wonderful girl!
