Can a spayed female dog still go in heat?

A spayed female dog should not be able to go into heat. Occasionally a piece of an ovary will remain in the abdomen after the surgery and then may cause heat like symptoms which include a bloody vulvar discharge, nipple swelling, and nesting behaviors. Have your veterinarian check your dog while she is displaying the symptoms.
