Thank you to those that offered advice on my other thread.

Turns out she had a flap of the stump.of the uterus that they leave behind inflamed, infected and sticking to her bladder. They called it Stump Pryometera? That's been gotten rid of and course of painkillers and antibiotics she should be as right as rain soon.

Good to know she's ok..out of interest did they redo the op for free,as it was the vets fault for leaving the remains of the uterus in place that caused the problem?

No as apparently in a spaying they leave the Stump there as it's connected to the cervix and they can't take a lot of it out? It's quite rare for it to happen.
 
If it was true stump pyo.then they likely left a bit of the ovarian tissue behind ,the hormones of which affects the stump left at the bottom of the uterus..this is the vets fault IMO and if this were the case I'd hope the op would have been redone at his expense.
However there is also a condition called stump granuloma...caused by reaction to internal stitches...this link explains better than me..if it was the latter then I'd pay up as it is one of those things..
The Main thing is your dog is ok...but bummer she's had to go through her op twice.

Bellasophia- That's very difficult to say that a vets (of unknown expertise) should redo it for free because you have decided they did it wrong...I think you might need to be aware that there can be so many variables and that the 'stump' of the uterus is supposed to be left in - ovarian tissue isn't but you have no idea withotu being involved what has acutally gone on here.
Besides which - operation complications are part of life and vet care and I'd assume I pay for my animals complicaiton unless it can be proved negligence..
Glad to hear she is all sorted op.

Hi Susie..do you actually read people's posts?
I think the only presumption is in your own reply..there is a big difference in giving an opinion and being opinionated.
