The term stump

which is focal inflammation of remnant uterine tissue, often caused by a reaction
to suture material and which may or may not have bacterial infection at the
same time.
A spayed dog with no remaining ovarian tissue should not be at any appreciable
risk of developing stump pyometra, however it could get a stump granuloma.
The use of absorbable suture material which eventually disappears, and
minimizing residual uterine tissue in the abdomen post spay, are also advised.
