Could someone explain to me what a stump pymetra is??  After an initial
adrenal surgery where they didn't remove either gland (they said they
both looked normal) I took her back in after noticing a discharge from her
vulva.  To make a very long story short 3 months later at my insistence
they removed her left adrenal which turned out to be cancerous and they
said she also had a stump pyometra which I thought was like an ovarian
remnant.  I never did really understand what it was.  BTW - after a year
of being totally bald - she is FINALLY fuzzy again.
