It only happens in unspayed females of any breed. Well, it can happen in spayed females but it is very very rare. The signs can be different for every dog and it depends on if the pyometra is what is called open or closed pyometra. Many times, you don't know there is a problem until your dog has a very high fever. We were lucky, because my Moka had the closed pyometra. My vet found it during her scheduled spay and he told me I was very very lucky. If ever you don't feel you are getting the answers you think are right from your vet, it never hurts to check with another one.
