Well needless to say we fell in love with the little boy.(his name is Meaty, my husband named him.  We got him home and on his first day I noticed an umbilical hernia. I emailed the "adoption agent" and she said she or the breeder or the vet saw no evidence of one. I thought this was odd because I took one look at his belly and saw it. Our reason for buying him was to breed him and that is out the window now because hernias are possibly passed on. We love him anyway and wouldn't trade him for nothing, but I just feel that maybe I was lied to. I wanted to just sort of warn anyone else buying from that area to be careful. And to see if anyone else has had a simular experiences. |
I just now saw this. My Abby has bilateral hernias that we hope to have repaired when she's spayed. Our vet and the breeder both said they may take care of themselves, but so far they haven't. (the breeder we got Abby from told me that she had the hernias.)
I hope Meaty is doing well.
