摘要
The aim of this report was to describe a clinical case of chronic atrophic endometritis as a complication of cystic endometrial hyperplasia-pyometra complex in a non-spayed ferret. The ferret was presented with a slight abdominal distension and odorless purulent vulvar discharge after unsuccessful medical treatment with enrofloxacine and aglepristone 2 months ago in another clinic. Ultrasonography revealed enlarged uterine horns filled with fluid and blood laboratory analysis showed anaemia and leukocytosis, so diagnosis of pyometra was made. Laparotomy and ovariohysterectomy were performed. Histopathological and microbiological examination of the uterus revealed the presence of purulent atrophic endometritis caused by Staphylococcus spp. In conclusion, this is a very rare case of endometrial atrophia after chronic uterine inflammation in a ferret.
