A 6-year-old FS Rottweiler adopted three years ago from a shelter at which she was spayed, was presented for a history of two heat cycles, a negative LH test two years prior and recent bloody and mucoid discharge from the vulva. Abnormalities on physical examination were a grade II/VI heart murmur and a bloody, mucoid vulvar discharge.

Retained ovarian tissue, vaginitis, stump pyometra, vaginal tumor.
Right ovarian remnant. Stump pyometra.
A 3.0 cm wide, fluid-filled uterine remnant was noted in this patient with a thickened wall. This is consistent with stump pyometra. This remnant continued into the level of the apex of the urinary bladder. Right ovarian remnant was also present at 2 x 2.25 cm and in normal position for an ovary.
A repeat ovariohysterectomy, with antibiotic therapy prior to surgery and three weeks post-operatively, was recommended. The patient was treated with Clavamox prior to undergoing a repeat ovariohysterectomy. The patient recovered well, but had some minimal serosanguinous oozing from the incision two days post-operative. The patient was treated with Yunnan Paio, and the owner was instructed to apply cold compresses every two hours.
