Bitch neutered?

L1985

Ok a quick fairly obvious q I think.
Got our collie neutered around 6months ago now she was roughly a year at the time (not sure of her age as she's v small for the breed).
Now we also have an old male lab not neutered(literally never roams away from home v non aggressive and TBH I'm not sure he actually knows what to do...) so the last couple of days the lab has been getting v friendly with the collie. Following her ,humping the air around her,licking her etc. Everything that he did before when she was in heat ( reason I don't think he knows what to do is he deff got opportunities the last time but she wasn't in pup as they checked) so could it be possible she wasn't fully neutered? Is that even possible?

Not sure if dogs can get the same thing, but our cat had Ovarian Remnant Syndrome. Basically there was a tiny piece of ovarian tissue left behind during the spay and the hormones from the tissue made her go into heat.

I have heard that this can happen with dogs too... I was so worried it would happen with my girl but lucky it didn't. She had pyometra and it can happen then.

Here's some info about it for dogs http://www.petmd.com/dog/conditions/reproductive/c_dg_ovarian_remnant_syndrome

With our cat she had to go in and have a hormone injection designed to induce ovulation, then about a week later a blood test was done to measure hormone levels compared to expected normal levels.

Thanks all-tried the vet today just to double check but phone was engaged. Our lab is getting some exercise out of it anyway-he's following her everywhere-he is wrecked in the evenings from all the courtship. Might help him lose some weight lol
