Abstract

Ten spayed bitches with history of pro estrual bleeding, vulval swelling, attractiveness to male were diagnosed
as cases of ovarian remnant syndrome based on vaginal cytology and serum progesterone assay. Diagnostic
laparoscopy was performed in metestrus and the ovarian remnants were removed by laparoscopic dissection.
None of the bitches showed any surgical complications. Only in one bitch vaginal bleeding continued which was
diagnosed as polyps in the vagina on vaginoscopy. It was concluded that the diagnosis of ovarian remnant syndrome
can be done by serial vaginal cytology ar:id serum progesterone assay. Confirmation and further removal of ovarian
remnant can be performed by laparoscopy.
