No, No, No! Don't worry! Abby was the only one in the litter with the hernia. It's not a big deal at all and Abby can absolutely live with it, we just want it repaired, just incase it should ever give her any discomfort.
Lynn took the litter to the vet the day before we picked them up, I looked at the report and Abby was the only one with a hernia, so don't worry...OK
Chanel is fine!
The hernia is a little buldge in her belly. Bilateral means it's on both sides. It's a strain in the tummy. It could be a birth defect or something that happened later on? We aren't sure. When I pointed it out to my vet, he wasn't concerned at all and said that we would just keep an eye on it and that maybe it would repair itself. I don't think it has so far. Abby is going to the vet tomorrow for her last shot and we'll look at the hernia again to reevaluate. It has never caused her any pain or problems. She spunky, active and a little love bug
