The use of intravaginal prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) for the treatment of metritis or pyometra was investigated in the bitch.PGF2alpha (150 cg/kg body weight (bw)) was administered to 17 bitches with metritis or pyometra, once or twice daily, by infusing 0.3 ml/10 kg bw into the vaginal lumen.Bitches were also treated with amoxicillin (15 mg/kg bw every 48 h) and/or gentamicin (4 mg/kg bw daily) administered as i.m. injections.15 bitches were treated successfully with PGF2alpha for 3 to 12 days and with antibiotics for 4 to 12 days.Success of treatment was judged by cessation of vaginal discharge, the absence of fluid in the uterus as determined by ultrasonography, and the overall health status of the animal.
