Postpartum pyometra is rare; however, it may lead to sepsis. The main initial symptoms are fever, lower abdominal pain and foul-smelling lochia. The treatment includes antibiotic administration and surgical drainage. This is a report of postpartum pyometra following a caesarean section that was successfully treated with manual vacuum aspiration, a simple and minimally invasive option. Other treatment options include pyometra reduction using placenta forceps and the placement of an intrauterine drainage catheter.

Pyometra is a prevalent and severe infectious disease that affects the reproductive systems of cattle worldwide. This study's main goal was to investigate the biomarkers for oxidative stress (OS), adiponectin, leptin and neopterin (NPT) in cows suffering from postpartum pyometra. The study also aimed to determine which bacteria were most commonly implicated in the development of the disease.

Background: Difficult calving (dystocia) in buffalo cows is a major obstetrical problem which further leads to metritis complex, encompassing the retention of fetal membranes (RFM), puerperal metritis, endometritis and pyometra with impaired future fertility.
Aims: The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of the administration of intrauterine proteolytic enzymes on the expulsion of fetal membranes and postpartum fertility in dystociac buffaloes.
Methods: Proteolytic enzymes consisting of Trypsin (16 mg), Chymotrypsin (16 mg), and Papain (8 mg) were dissolved in 500 ml normal saline were administered after 1 h of assisted delivery in dystociac buffaloes along with the conventional therapy.
