A 9-year-old intact female Shih-Tzu was presented with abdominal pain and abdominal distension. Since the animal's birth, the owner had never observed proestrous bleeding in the patient. Ultrasonography revealed segmental enlargement of the genital system. An ovariohysterovaginectomy was performed to remove the genital mass. The vagina was grossly dilated as a result of being filled with a solid black-green substance. A vaginogram was performed. Based on the surgical findings and vaginogram results, an imperforate hymen was diagnosed. One month from the first surgery, a stump pyocolpos developed between the sutured site and the obstructed portion. The persistent hymen was removed by endoscopy. However, peritonitis and sepsis developed after the procedure, and the dog died. Therefore, During operation of persistent hymen, a cruciate incision over the hymen strongly recommended to avoid additional post operative complications.

A 12-year-old, female mixed breed dog presented with a vaginal mass protruding outside the vulva. The patient was non-gravid, with normal defecation and urination. Serum chemistry revealed azotemia and increased alkaline phosphatase. Hematology findings were normal. Blood electrolytes showed mild hypernatremia. Ultrasonography demonstrated severely enlarged uterine horns, a uterine body with anechoic to hypoechoic fluids, and a focal hypoechoic area within the mass of the right uterine tube. On computed tomography, metastasis was not confirmed. Other computed tomography findings suggested a right ovarian cyst, an enlarged, fluid-filled uterus, and an enlarged vagina with a mass. Ovariohysterectomy, episiotomy, and vaginectomy were performed. The case was diagnosed as uterine tube adenocarcinoma, vaginal fibroma, and pyometra. This case is the first reported concurrent occurrence in dogs.

Laparoscopic-assisted ovariohysterectomy was performed in a cat (2.7 kg) with pyometra. A 10-mm operative laparoscope was inserted into the abdomen through an umbilical port. A transabdominal suspension suture was placed to maintain the exposure of the ovarian vascular pedicle. The ovarian vascular pedicle and suspensory ligament were progressively cauterized and transected with 5-mm multifunction bipolar grasping forceps. Both ovaries and the uterus were exteriorized via 5-mm caudal port enlarged to 2 cm. The uterine body and associated arteries were ligated, transfixed, and transected under direct vision. No peri- or post-operative complications were encountered. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of the use of laparoscopy for the treatment of pyometra in the cat.
