Metritis

Metritis is characterized by an enlarged uterus and a watery red-brown fluid to viscous off-white purulent uterine discharge, which often has a bad smell.

The severity of disease is categorized by the signs of health: Clinical endometritis is defined in cattle as the presence of a purulent uterine discharge detectable in the vagina 21 days or more postpartum.

These include brucellosis, leptospirosis, campylobacteriosis, and trichomoniasis" [3] In cattle, bacterial infection of the uterus affects almost all animals after parturition.

Beef cattle rarely have disease unless they have a predisposing factor such as retained placenta or difficult parturition.

[4] The word metritis (/məˈtraɪtɪs/ or /miˈtraɪtɪs/) uses combining forms of metr- + -itis, yielding "uterus inflammation".
