"On Thanksgiving Day, we brought my 12-year-old American Akita to urgent care because we noticed brown mucous discharge all over the blanket she was sleeping on top of.
They did an x-ray and an ultrasound and confirmed that she had open pyometra. The vet suggested we do an emergency spay and quoted the surgery at $8500 on top of the $1500 I paid for x-rays, bloodwork, ultrasound, etc., for a total of $10, 000! With my girl being 12 years old, I didn't want to put her through the trauma of such a risky surgery. Additionally, I am terrified that she won't come back up if they put her under. I told the vet that I preferred to take her back home, and they sent her home with a week's worth of antibiotics (Clavamox).
I scoured the internet for alternative treatments and stumbled upon Dr. Jones' YouTube video on a homeopathic remedy, pyometra. I did a little more searching and found this excellent article on Earth Clinic!
I started this treatment the very next day (Friday), three times a day:
- 4000mg vitamin c with rose hips from Whole Foods
- 1 tbsp Wedderspoon KFactor 16 Manuka Honey
- 1 tsp 95% curcumin
- 2 capsules of Yunnan Baiyao
- 1000mg of Allicin (2x day)
The discharge went from a brown mucous discharge to a bloody, foul-smelling discharge during her treatment. We bought disposable diapers for her to wear, and it would fill up with so much blood, I almost thought she wasn't going to get through this. But, after eight days, her discharge turned into an odorless, clear mucous discharge. I will continue dosing her 3 times a day until the discharge has completely dissipated.
I am so happy that I found Dr. Jones' YouTube video and this wonderful article on Earth Clinic!"

"Update: After 12 days the discharge was completely gone and she is back to normal!"

"Where did you get the yunnan baiyao? I'm having a hard time finding it."
