Besides producing eggs, the ovaries manufacture the females sex hormones, oestrogen and progesterone which are responsible for bringing about the secondary female sex characteristics such as a more refined body shape and the development of the mammary glands. Another of their jobs is to regulate the lubrication of the bodies mucus membranes. Mucus membrane is basically a lining of various internal and external organs - therefore the body "dries" out somewhat. The eye keeps itself clean through a combination of blinking and natural lubrication, a spayed bitch still blinks but no longer has the same amount of lubrication to wash out foreign objects - hence infection. Exactly the same thing happens in menopausal/post menopausal women. Edited by Tafia, Apr 9 2009, 11:56 PM.
