her blood test report is in her liver and kidney is sluggish . nothing else seems to be wrong. vet was not in. does this give a clue to her ailment ? should i ask for some other test. vet facilities in my country are very basic

If she was in heat a month ago, I suggest you run, don't walk to the vet!!! She could have a pyometra. I have a question for you. Why do you not want to spay this girl if she has already had demodex??? You should never breed a dog that has had demodex.

This could be a number of things, if she isn't spayed she could have a Pyometra, this is when the uterus becomes infected and fills with puss. Since you say there is also blood, it's likely that she is in her first heat, which is when females are most likely to get a Pyometra. She will need surgery for this as it is fatal.
Another likely thing this could be is a Urinary Tract Infection, to my knowledge the vet would have to take a urine sample to be able to positively identify this.
Either way I would suggest calling the vet again and having her seen to rule out the possibility of a Pyometra.
I hope this helps and that she does well, Good luck :)

Hi,
If she is not neutered, it is possible that she has pyometra (uterine infection), although this would be unusual in such a young dog. She may also have vaginitis (a vaginal infection), which usually clears up with a course of antibiotics. If she has never had a season and is happy and well in herself and her blood test is normal this would be the most likely problem. Another possibility is that she has a urinary tract infection that is causing the blood, although you would be unlikely to be seeing pus coming from her vulva. I would probably have her urine tested by her vet just in case. She may also require xrays or ultrasound to rule out pyometra.
Hope that helps!

My Dalmatian had this same ordeal, after taking her to the vet, it was found that she had an infection in her uterus, the end result was that she had to get a hysterectomy. The vets reason for this was something with the ovaries, and it happened after her coming into heat. With her being 9 months old, she is most likely in the stages of going into her first heat. Id highly suggest it is an infection. If antibiotics don't work, she will have to get a hysterectomy. Hope this helps

Get her to the vet ASAP !!!
It's not a good sign somthing is very wrong..
If she's had a heat in the last couple month's it is probaly pyrometrea (spelling??) If she's having discharge (it can look like tomato soup (sorry for being graphic) ) It's likley an Open Pyro. & she need's to be fixed ASAP & a strong course of antibiotic's & she should be ok, But she NEED'S to be seen by a vet ASAP..
Time is VERY impotrant with Pyro.
Good Luck :)

the 1st day of her season starts from the 1st spot of blood you spot. The season lasts for 21 days. Her ovulation days are between the eleventh and 14th days however the female can get pregnant if she friends with a dogs the two side of those dates because of the fact the sperm keeps to be alive for twenty-four hours and it generally takes 40 8 hours for her eggs to be released as quickly as ovulation is drawing close. The blood will start to decrease after approximately ten days yet don't be fooled into thinking it fairly is throughout then. you may desire to shop a watchful eye on her by the full 21 days.

Is your dog in heat?
If she is not due to be inheat she may have a pyometra that can be life threatening uterine infection.
Get her seen by the vet and see what they recommend.
If it is a pyometra you are going to have to spay the dog. Other types of infections can be treated with antibiotics.

first two symptoms of heat - swollen vulva and bleeding out vulva BUT if she's got puss it's most likely pyometria and an emergency spay will be needed to save her life.
