The hydatid parasite is carried by dogs in their bowel, without any symptoms of infection. The only cure is surgical removal of the cyst and deworming with praziquantel medications. For metritis, antibiotics are often needed along with flushing of the uterus. If the dog is not to be used for breeding then she should be spayed (sterilized). The vet that made the diagnoses for you should be able to get you some treatment for her.
