Miss Snips is a shy, petite (8lb / 3.6kg) mature female stray recently adopted into a new home. When Miss Snips wasn’t feeling well, her new owner brought her in on emergency where it was discovered she was suffering from pyometra – a life threatening infection in the uterus. Miss Snips underwent surgery to remove her uterus and ovaries – which weighed a whopping 900 gm (think two pounds of butter!). 
Pyometra is a relatively common occurrence in unspayed dogs and cats – one of the main reasons we recommend spaying all female pets!
Thank goodness Miss Snips was rescued when she was by her new owner!
We wish her a speedy recovery.
