Dirty brown vaginal discharge evident on the floor outside the Toa Payoh Vets. The dog had been given IV and SC drip including amino acids, multivitamins, IV iron  and frusemide,  the dog looked more alert. She would be going home with antibiotics for 14 days. A very high anaesthetic risk if surgery was to be done today or tomorrow (Feb 4, 2015). The dog would be home for the next 14 days to recuperate with good and more food. 

Health deteriorates if an old female, not spayed dog suffers from womb infections for a long time. In this case, this infection could have occurred in the last 2 heat cycles and the dog became thinner and weaker over time. Death would come as the dog stopped eating and wasted away. 

Spaying your female dog when she is younger will have eliminated this worrying medical problem.
