Can a dog give birth if she has pyometra?

Pyometra is a serious uterine infection that can occur in female dogs. It is caused by a bacterial infection of the uterus, and can lead to a number of complications, including sepsis and death. In most cases, pyometra requires prompt medical treatment, and it is generally not possible for a dog to give birth if she has the condition.

Even if a dog with pyometra does give birth, the puppies are likely to be premature and weak, and may not survive. Additionally, the mother's own health is at risk, and she may develop life-threatening complications. Therefore, it is important to seek veterinary attention immediately if your dog is showing signs of pyometra.
