 If there's any ovarian tissue left hormones will still be produced.
According to our vet if a female dog is still in heat (our Abbie was
when we got her)- she may experience 'false pregnancies' for life.

There is a debate going on when the best time to spay the female is.
Before she enters estrus or after one cycle. Some say after because
doing it too soon might alter her temperament. Well what do you think?

Also did y'all know a male after being neutered still has his hormones
in his system for up to 90 days? That's why he can still be attracted
to females in heat.

Our vet sent us info from online on this. Sorry I  no longer have the
URL. Some sites are more informative than others. I suggest one
associated with an Animal Hospital. Ask your vet. :)
