Ovarian remnant syndrome in a 5-year-old bitch

Cheryl Sangster. Can Vet J. 2005 Jan.

Abstract
in English, French

A 5-year-old German shepherd bitch was presented with a 3-week history of vaginal bleeding. Ovarian remnant syndrome was diagnosed on vaginoscopy, vaginal cytology, serum progesterone levels, ultrasonography, and exploratory laparotomy. The condition resolved following surgical excision of the remaining ovarian tissue.

Le syndrome ovarien résiduel a été diagnostiqué par vaginoscopie, cytologie vaginale, niveaux sériques de progestérone, échographie et laparotomie exploratrice. La situation s’est rétablie à la suite de l’excision chirurgicale du tissu ovarien résiduel.
