Ovarian remnant in a 2-year-old queen.
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.
