Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Keep Jack in your thoughts A year ago, Jack was diagnosed with a perianal hernia. The vet said it could be fixed with a relatively minor surgery, but he also said Jack could quite likely live with it with no problems. I decided to wait. Well, lately it's been giving him problems. Yesterday, he was straining but unable to poop for about 2-3 hours. He refused treats. Didn't want to walk. A lump by his butt that is normally soft was hard. I took him to pet emergency, but in the lobby his symptoms vanished. The lump went down. He started accepting treats. Later, he was able to poop. I decided to wait until today to talk to my vet (waiting for a call back). Anyway, my guess is he'll recommend the surgery. I didn't want to do it last year because it was so soon after his leg surgery, but now feels like a good time. I'll let you guys know what the vet says, but keep him in your thoughts.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I will keep him in my prayers. Maya has the same thing. She was diagnosed about a year ago and I went to the surgeon and she said we could take a wait and see approach. SHe did say it was uncommon in spayed females and usually affects males more. I have just kept an eye on her. The surgeon said the surgery wasn't bad and she would be on stool softeners for awhile after surgery. I think she told me it be about 1,000.00.

He originally told me that his main concern would be his bladder slipping into the 'hole' and requiring emergency surgery, but he said it would be unusual for that to happen. He quoted me at around $700 a year ago. Fortunately, I budgeted for it. It was nice to have the advance warning. Still waiting for his call. Arggh.
