  All that aside, there is an alternative spay that I just can't figure out.  The uterus-sparing spay.  What's the point?  Take out the ovaries (there go the hormones!) and leave behind probably the most troublesome part of the female anatomy.  Strange.




The word you're looking for is "ovariectomy". Using that search term may help you find more information.




My understanding is that many European vets prefer ovariectomy (= OVE) over "full spay" (ovariohysterectomy = OVH). It's a simpler surgery, from a technical perspective, so the animal doesn't need to be under anaesthesia as long, and recovery is quicker. There is still a remote risk of pyometra, but it's very uncommon in a bitch that's no longer going through heat cycles.
