9.5 y.o. Cocker 12 days into her season .
Symptoms –
Haemorrhaged in car dog box yesterday morning,unsure where bleeding came from.
Lethargy – doesn’t check bins outside houses!
Unwilling to climb doorstep or get in/out of car or move from her bed.
Temperature was slightly high 39.3 C., now 38.1 C.
Drinking and urinating quite a lot , faeces normal, ate up last evening. Vet says not dehydrated.
No excretion when vulva suppressed.
Abdomen seems extended/bloated.
I feared pyometra but vet thinks urinary tract infection , gave her antibiotic injection yesterday morning ( doesn't seem to have improved since) and is phoning tomorrow lunchtime to check progress.
Anyone have any idea of what else maybe the problem please?
Poorly Cocker.

Re: Poorly Cocker.
Vet has been and thinks the lethargy is a back problem & has given her an anti inflammatory injection.
