Hi Molly I have a 14 year old Akita with a open cervix pyometra. The vet treats her with antibiotics whenever she has an infection and is excreting pus. In the case of the mastiff surgery is the best procedure because she is young and strong. Our dogs being that they are much older would most likely not survive that surgery. There is also another treatment called prostaglandins but my vet did not recommend it due to side effects. How is your dog doing?
