Rarely in a female that has never been bred. In 44 years of having hounds I’ve had 2 females that have had this condition. One of the 2 had raised a litter. The other had not. It is most often diagnosed in older females that have had at least one litter of pups. 95% of the dogs I’ve owned in that time frame have been females.

I have had a bunch with a vaginal discharge but never lost one. I now give mine a shot of penicillin for a couple of days after breeding and after birthing pups.

it sometimes happens when you breed one and do not take precautions to prevent it.. way back in about 1987 I bought a female that had had a litter never thought much about it.. I tried to raise a litter .. she had 14
puppies. well she got infection and it quickly turned to Pyrometria. the vet .. we started bottle feeding the ones that were still alive --5--
the vet ask how much I had in her... and how much I could spend.. sait it would be something over $1000 for over night and no guarantees.
we save 3 on the bottle.

like was mentioned a bottle of penicillin has prevented it from happening again
