QUESTION
Pyometra in cattle is characterized by:
(a) Accumulation of pus in uterus
(b) Retained corpus luteum
(c) Per rectally thickened uterine walls
OPTIONS
(A) (a) and (b) are correct
(B) (a) and (c) are correct
(C) (b) and (c) are correct
(D) All are correct
ANSWER
(D) All are correct
EXPLANATION
Bovine pyometra involves accumulation of purulent material in the uterus and commonly persistence of a functional corpus luteum. Inflammation can also produce thickened uterine walls detectable on examination, although the degree varies between cases. Consequently, all three findings can occur together. The paired options each omit another recognized feature of the disorder and are less complete than all are correct.
