During the period from December 2004 to September 2008, data on the frequency of Pyometra in dogs have been studied and analyzed in the Veterinary Clinic in Malisheva and the Institute of Veterinary at the Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary in Prishtina. Currently there is a considerable number of Small Animal Clinics in Kosovo which treat different breeding problems in pets. Re-fer¬ring to the latest data of the Kosovo Veterinary and Food Agency, the number of such animals in country is large and is increasing. The awareness of the owners is not yet in the proper levels in relation to the prophylaxis and the control on different pathologies, including Pyometra. During the above mentioned period a considerable number of such animals were checked and treated for different problems.
