My Abby had a bilateral hernia (basically a hernia on both sides of her belly) when I got her. The breeder told me about it and took $ off for hernia repair that can be done when I have her spayed. She will not ever be able to have puppies because of this, but I wasn't planning on breeding her anyway.
The breeder and my vet both said that a lot of time these things will take care of themselves. I'm hoping Abby's goes away and we don't have to do any additional surgery.
Your breeder might not have noticed it. My vet didn't notice it until I pointed it out to him.
I wish you the best of luck. |
