I was wondering if anyone has dealt with pyometra in their queens or has any useful advice for me. I've never dealt with it before but this pregnancy has progressed weirdly and it has me concerned that it's not a pregnancy at all.
So here's the low down. My queen started her first heat at eight months. By 11 months she was in a continuous heat cycle that wouldn't end. I bred her a couple days after her first birthday from November 20 to 26. Four weeks later she'd gone from 7 pounds to ten pounds and is eating triple the amount. Another two weeks and she's now 14 pounds and looks heavily pregnant. We got an x-ray done a few days ago at the 40 to 47 day mark depending on the day she conceived. There are no skeletons visible but there are some spots that look like they might be developing skeletons. He uturine horns are massive, both larger then the size of a fist. Theirs still around two and a half weeks to go before she's due.
What concerns me is how much weight she's gained early on in the pregnancy and the size of her uterine horns six weeks in.
