ridingkeepsmegoing replied to your post āIām going to beat this dead horse and just say that I find it amusing...ā
I really wanna go find statistics on the different rates of pyometra between Scandinavia and the US. With having a significantly better control on which dogs are breeding, I'm curious to see if there is a decrease in cases
The main animal insurance company in Norway and Sweden has i at 23-25% of intact bitches by the age of 10, with mortality of about 3-4% (unclear whether thatās total or of the affected, I canāt download anything rn apparently). 7% of Swedish bitches are spayed.
If anyone has the US stats on hand thatād be coolio bc itās late and I have to go to bed, and most of the pages I came upon listed that same Swedish paper.
What I found Very interesting though is the difference between breeds, rainging from 10% to 54% - list of relevant studies at the bottomĀ ācause iām lazy.
