Among diseases of the reproductive organs of bitches, pyometra is most often registered. Objective diagnosis of this disease in dogs by practicing veterinarians is difficult and uninformative. In addition, to date, effective methods of treatment for pyometra, which allow for restoring the productivity of the animal, have yet to be sufficiently developed. The purpose of the research was clinical trials of an antibacterial drug based on amoxicillin trihydrate, which is used for the medical treatment of pyometra in bitches – “Amoksidev 15”. The research was conducted on purebred and purebred bitches treated in the clinic with a pyometra (empyema) diagnosis of the uterus. Conservative treatment of bitches, using the antibacterial drug “Amoksidev 15” as part of a complex scheme, which included the following drugs: Dinolytic (enzaprost-F), No-shpa, Devivit Complex, Tioprotectin 2.5 %, herbal decoctions (nettles, raspberries, chamomile, boar's uterus) led to the recovery of 70 % of sick animals. When using drug therapy (animals of the control group), the clinically expressed manifestation of the disease lasted eight days on average. In the blood of these animals, an increase in the number of erythrocytes by 23.2 % was observed, and the number of leukocytes increased by 39.0 %. Therefore, the complex therapy used in the experiment resulted in the faster restoration of the reference values of the body's physiological indicators than in the control group animals, which included Enroxil 5 % as part of the complex therapeutic scheme. The prospect of further research will be clinical trials of the antibacterial drug “Amoksidev 15” in complex therapy for treating pyometra in cats.
