QUESTION
Which of the following statements are correct in case of pyometra cow:
(a) It is characterized by a progressive accumulation of pus in the uterus.
(b) It is usually accompanied with the corpus luteum on the ovary.
(c) The uterus has more doughy and less vibrant feel.
(d) Injection progesterone is the best treatment for pyometra
OPTIONS
(A) Only a, b and d
(B) Only a, b and c
(C) Only a, c and d
(D) a, b, c and d
ANSWER
(B) Only a, b and c
EXPLANATION
Bovine pyometra is characterized by uterine pus accumulation, commonly with a persistent corpus luteum, and a doughy uterus with reduced tone. These correspond to statements (a), (b), and (c). Progesterone treatment would maintain a uterine environment that favors persistence rather than resolution, so statement (d) is inappropriate. The options including progesterone as the best treatment are therefore incorrect.
