Uterine drainage was performed in three bitches with pyometra which had been treated unsuccessfully with PGF 2α . All of the bitches became clinically normal and one of them was mated and gave birth to live puppies. The mode of action of uterine drainage is discussed. Possible advantages of a combination of drainage and prostaglandin treatment are also considered.
