Hi my GSD has just been diagnosed with this last week and has had an operation etc regarding this i had never heard of this before she got spayed when she was 6 months old she is now 5 1/2 I am at my witts end with worry about my girl. The vets I have been with for the past 4 years are amazing but they werent the vets that done the spay originally. I have her back home but i am waiting on the vet contacting me back as i have a few concerns about her..

what the hell's going on? From even expert sources, i was made to believe, spayed or neutered bitches don't suffer or expirience pyometra. If the above post is true, then nobody is safe.

I can assure you the above post is true and i dont ever want to go through anything like that again going to get her stronger pain killers tonight after work. Its very scarey and makes you wonder....

It's the result of an incomplete spay - where tissue or part of the uterus is left in the bitch. I'd be pretty upset about it - hope your girl comes out of it ok.

Thanks the vets i am with have sent away tissue to be analyzed to see if it is ovarian tissue they suspect it is will get the results in the next few days hopefully.
The vets have removed her cervix, uterus and part of her vagina their concern was if the uterus had ruptured as it was full of fluid thankfully that wasnt the case. I am waiting to hear back about the tissue samples and then might put a report in to the RCVS.
I am just glad my girl is on the mend!!!

I'm a little confused... they spayed her BUT LEFT THE UTERUS IN?????????
A spay usually consists of complete hysterectomy... removing both ovaries and uterus. I would find a different vet ASAP if they did not spay her right. I would ticked off as well.

I changed vets about 4 years ago.I have asked my vet for a full report, print out of what they had to do so i have all the information..
The vets said to me the day before her op when she had a xray and a scan that the uterus was filled with fluid.
She is getting spoilt wrotten just now....

I suspect that a portion of ovarian tissue was not originally removed.
I haad a female who had a c-section/spay.Six weeks late,r she behaved as if she were in standing heat and haad several ties with my male. The vet who performed the initial surgery found this difficulty to believe until she consulted with my repro vet.. Even vaginal cytology was consistent with a bitch in estrus. The bitch was re-spayed by the same vet at no charge.
Stump pyometra most commonly occurs when a bitch is spayed while in estrus and the uterine stump is improperly ligated. Males are still attracted to a bitch in heat and can tie with her--resulting in a stump pyometra.
Ever heard of a "foxtail pymetra"? This happens to an intact bitch when a grass awn migrates through the vagina and into the uterus. Just as life-threatening as a garden-variety pyometra.
