Pyometra is a common reproductive disease in female dogs, which negatively affects the reproductive performance and results in high mortality in the case of delayed diagnosis and treatment. In this study, biochemical and the haematological parameters were assessed in healthy and diseased female dogs. The dogs consisted of two groups, group 1 (control) with 10 healthy dogs and group 2 with 10 pyometra-infected dogs. The results revealed that infected dogs showed a decrease in red blood cell count and haemoglobin and mean corpuscular volume while white blood cell count (neutrophil, lymphocyte and monocyte) increased. In addition, the liver enzyme value like GOT, GPT remained constant in both healthy and diseased dogs but the parameters related to kidney function such as urine and creatine production moderately increased..
