She has been told by the cat association they do not get involved in contratual breeder disputes.  she continues to harrase me, makes physical threats, etc.  the cat was in fact sent back to me almost at 2 years of age with me paying for the return of cat. there has been no health issues with said cat. elena was offered said cat back bred she refused. the president of the association was included in the offers that was made to settle this and she refused.   the diagnosis that elena sent her self is "pyo" which is not genetic therefore it is not covered under the health guarantee.  this is rediculas that she can continue to post things with out facts.  There has been please reports filed with the emails she sent with her threats and a file made.  this needs to stop.  i have had said cat for 1 year now there has been no issues. said cat was bred had babies.  she still refuses to believe..from the vet board

PYOMETRA
 
Overview
Pyometra is an infection of the uterus in dogs and cats causing a variety of clinical and pathological signs related to genital and systemic disease.  The uterus is generally filled with pus.  Although the disease has been recognized for decades, the true pathogenesis has still not been completely understood.  It is generally recognized that progesterone and estrogen and their receptors have a role in the development of pyometra; however, the infection is triggered by bacterial involvement.  The cyclical hormonal influences of the female dog allow the uterus to go through changes that will be acceptable for fertilization of an embryo.  The changes that the uterus undergoes are typical for each dog.  If bacteria are introduced into the uterus at a certain time during the cycle, hormonal regulation of the uterus allows the infection to start and become fulminate.
 
Causes
There appears to be a correlation between pyometra and the administration of hormones such as estrogen and progesterone.  In the presence of high concentrations of progesterone, as would be seen in a normal canine cycle or the administration of a mis-mating shot, with estrogen seems to have a correlation with pyometra in dogs older than 4 years of age.  Administration of progesterones has not been shown to increase the risk of developing pyometra; however, we know that in the normal uterine environment, progesterone is potentially the hormone that sets the uterus up for infection if bacteria become involved.
 
If bacteria enter the uterus at the times when the protective physical barriers are breached, such as estrus, parturition, or immediately after parturition, the normal uterine defense mechanisms are likely to eliminate these bacteria.  However, the hormonal influences may not allow the body to clear the bacteria.  The bacteria typically cultured from the pyometra are bacteria that would be found in the areas of the intestines and vagina (E coli is the most common).  Therefore, many of the infections are considered either from an ascending infection from the vagina, a concurrent urinary tract infection or fecal contamination.  Certain bacteria are more virulent than others and therefore allow a bacterium that is normally found on the dog to develop into an infection.
