Ovulation period

Do dogs drop eggs out of both ovaries when they ovulate, or do they rotate ovaries every other cycle? I have a female that I bred last December and she came down with an infection and the vet removed one ovary. He said I could breed her again in a year. Just curious.

Thanks,
Scott

^^^^^

Your female will ovulate off of her remaining ovary with each heat cycle.....

Typically one ovary is more active than the other, and it's almost like they have a "spare'...when one stops working.....the other takes over.
