Senior Yorkie Talker | Hernia has got bigger hello i took lexie to the vet today as her hernia has grown from the size a pea to the size of a malteaser, they checked it out and said its still only small! and can operate on it or wait untill she is 6 months and do it when she gets spayed as we thought, she told me it would be best to wait and do them together, i have been so worried so much about the hernia and hope it does not get any bigger because if it does they will have to do it earlyer and i dont want that, she is ok and still her happy mad little self and will keep you all posted tracy and lexie x x x x |

| Please, please, please watch that carefully. Ranger had a very small hernia that was not supposed to be a problem. So I waited until he was six months for his neuter and when my vet called that afternoon to tell me he was out of surgery and doing well, he said that the small intestine had "incarcerated" in the hernia sack and was strangulated and dying. He had shown absolutely no symptoms but would have been dead very soon after had we not happened to have his surgery done that day. Knowing Ranger, he wouldn't have shown a symptom until he was on death's doorstep. I am not trying to scare you, just want to make sure you watch your baby closely and try to get her spayed as soon as it is safely possible. I know lots of people don't get these hernias fixed, but it certainly can be a health concern.
