Abstract

A 3-year-old intact female Labradoodle bitch was referred due to fever and lethargy 4 days postpartum. The dog was reported to have had prolonged labor that required assistance and fetal membranes were retained. Physical examination and diagnostics led to a suspicion of metritis and uterine perforation. Ovariohysterectomy was performed. Gross and histopathology findings revealed multifocal uterine perforation, necrosuppurative metritis, and placenta percreta. Post-operative antibiotic therapy and supportive care resulted in an uneventful clinical recovery. This is the first reported case of placenta percreta in a bitch. It is presumed that this pathology was paramount in the patient's development of metritis and subsequent uterine rupture. Key clinical message: Placenta percreta may lead to more severe clinical consequences of metritis, including uterine rupture.

Perforation utérine secondaire à une métrite et un placenta percreta chez une chienne en période post-partum. Une femelle Labradoodle intacte âgée de 3 ans fut référée pour cause de fièvre et léthargie 4 jours post-partum. Il fut rapporté que la chienne avait eu un travail long qui demanda de l’assistance et qu’il y avait eu rétention des membranes foetales. L’examen physique et le diagnostic mena à un doute de métrite et de perforation utérine. Une ovario-hystérectomie fut réalisée. Les trouvailles de pathologie macroscopique et d’histopathologie révélèrent des perforations utérines multifocales, une métrite nécro-suppurative et un placenta percreta. Une antibiothérapie post-opératoire et des soins de support ont résulté en une guérison clinique sans conséquence. Ceci représente le premier cas rapporté de placenta percreta chez une chienne. Il est présumé que chez cette chienne cette pathologie était vitale dans le développement de la métrite et de la rupture utérine subséquente.Message clinique clé :Un placenta percreta peut mener à des conséquences cliniques plus sévères de métrite, incluant la rupture utérine.(Traduit par Dr Serge Messier).
