Ovarian remnant in a 2-year-old queen

Douglas J Heffelfinger. Can Vet J. 2006 Feb.

Abstract
in English, French

A 2-year-old domestic shorthair queen was presented for recurrent estrus behavior. Ovariohysterectomy had been performed 9 months earlier. An ovarian remnant was diagnosed, based on vaginal cytology and hormonal stimulation. Following exploratory laparotomy to remove the aberrant tissue, the animal recovered without further complications.

Restant d’ovaire chez une chatte âgée de deux ans. Une chatte domestique à poils courts âgée de deux a été présentée pour un comportement d’œstrus récurrent. Une ovariohystérectomie a été réalisée neuf mois auparavant. Un restant d’ovaire est diagnostiqué, en fondant sur une cytologie vaginale et une stimulation hormonale. Après une laparatomie exploratoire pour enlever les tissus aberrants, l’animal s’est rétabli sans autres complications.
