After many years of estrus cycles without pregnancy, the uterine wall undergoes the changes that promote this disease

As far as i've read, usually pyometra in ferrets develops during false pregnancies and after jill-jabs ( or at least this is what the English and German vets concluded ). It is mainly a hormonal thing. Some hormone imbalance + an open cervix that allows bacteria to get inside

I'm glad you found the answer and were able to resolve it. I hope she recovers quickly. Good luck in your studies. It sounds like you are well on your way to being a great vet. Would you be willing to take an occasional question from members here? A lot of members have vets that aren't very experienced with ferrets.

Of course Even though I may not have all the answers, it would also be an opportunity for me to find them and share it with others
