Pre-anesthetic assessment
Full intake exam and review of diagnostics from your family veterinarian so we understand your pet’s stability, hydration, and white-cell picture before induction.
Soft Tissue Surgery
Pyometra surgery,
a same-day response.
A serious, sometimes life-threatening uterine infection in unspayed females. At Simply Spayed, pyometra surgery follows the same anesthesia and monitoring standard we bring to every procedure, executed with urgency once your pet is stabilized.
The Procedure
What pyometra surgery at Simply Spayed looks like.
Pyometra is not an elective procedure — it is urgent. Our workflow assumes you have already spoken with your family veterinarian, your pet is medically stable enough for anesthesia, and the day of surgery is today.
Who It’s For
Unspayed female dogs and cats, typically middle-aged or older, presenting with clinical signs consistent with uterine infection. A diagnosis from your family veterinarian — usually based on bloodwork and imaging — confirms the case is appropriate for surgical intervention.
Approach
Careful ventral midline celiotomy, isolation and removal of the infected uterus intact, abdominal lavage, and absorbable closure. Pyometra surgery is more technically delicate than a routine spay, and we treat it with the same discipline as any other invasive procedure.
Recovery Window
Most patients are ready to go home the same day. There is a meaningful first 24–48 hours of close monitoring at home. We provide direct support through that window and coordinate recheck care with your family veterinarian.
What’s Included
Included with every pyometra surgery.
Urgent surgery is still surgery. The same foundation of care that applies to a routine spay applies here, with appropriate urgency layered on top.
Individualized anesthesia
Drug choice and dosing calibrated to the unstable patient profile, with adjustments considered for kidney function, perfusion, and clinical urgency.
IV catheter & fluids
Established IV access for fluid support throughout anesthesia and into early recovery, with fluids tailored to the patient’s hydration and electrolyte status.
Continuous monitoring
Capnography, pulse oximetry, ECG, blood pressure, and body temperature tracked end-to-end with a dedicated technician at the table.
Multimodal pain management
Pre-medication, intra-operative analgesia, and take-home pain medication layered to keep the first night calm and the day after comfortable.
Discharge kit & 48-hour line
E-collar, written discharge instructions, and a direct line to our team for the first 48 hours. After that, your family veterinarian takes over follow-up care.

Questions
Common questions about pyometra surgery.
How quickly does pyometra need to be treated?
Pyometra is treated as urgent. Surgical intervention is typically needed within 24–48 hours of diagnosis, after your pet has been stabilized with IV fluids and a confirmed anesthetic profile. If you suspect pyometra, contact your family veterinarian first; they will guide next steps and refer to Simply Spayed when appropriate.
Is pyometra surgery more dangerous than a routine spay?
Yes, pyometra surgery carries more risk than a routine elective spay because the patient is already systemically unwell. Our anesthesia protocols, IV fluid support, continuous monitoring, and pain management are all calibrated to that reality. We will discuss your pet’s specific profile with you before surgery so you understand the plan and the risk.
Will my pet stay overnight?
No. Simply Spayed is an outpatient surgical center. Once your pet is medically ready for discharge — typically by mid-afternoon — they go home with you. If your pet needs overnight care for any reason, we coordinate with your family veterinarian or a 24-hour facility.
What if my pet is too unstable for outpatient surgery?
We don’t take unstable cases at Simply Spayed. If your pet’s bloodwork, perfusion, or clinical picture suggests they need stabilization first, the right first step is your family veterinarian or an emergency hospital. Once stable, we are happy to perform the surgical procedure.
