Abstract: Canine pyometra has been studied extensively in the past few decades to find the causes and prognostic markers associated with this infective disease of intact bitches, which is known to cause a systemic inflammatory responses leading to multiple systemic dysfunctions. Besides the well described clinical symptoms and systemic effects of this diseases, limited research on antioxidative status and lipid peroxidation profile of this condition was done. To find the changes in antioxidative status and lipid peroxidation profile of pyometra affected bitches serum sample was collected from ten pyometra affected bitches during pre and post operative periods of surgery and compared against the control group (n=10). In the present study the antioxidative status of the pyometra affected bitches was altered due to decrease in superoxide dismutase and catalase enzymes level. After ovariohysterectomy levels of these enzymes were increased. This suggests that pyometra induces oxidative stress in the bitches and removal of causative pathogens alleviates this oxidative stress.
