Doing another type of surgery at that time can be dangerous.

I'm not suggesting that you take my word for it. I've never researched it myself, but have been told this by 2 different vets. So....it's something to keep in mind.

Good luck, and keep the pics coming!

I'm sorry to be a "downer" I am very excited for you and your new Bella!

No not a downer, I really don't think he will be able to do all 3 by the way he talked and by what he thought he felt with her hernia. But I will mention it and see what he says.

Another question- I have only noticed her eating the dry food a couple times and then only a few pieces. So last night I remembered I had some canned Nature's Variety so I gave her some, SHE INHALED IT. I felt bad, but assumed she was eating and I didn't notice it.. WRONG.

So I'm wondering if her bad tooth ( which I saw it is so bad it looks like just tartar but it's the tooth) is hurting and the dry food is too hard?? Maybe I'll mix some dry in the wet and see if she eats it then.. Or maybe some dry in water.. That's what I'll do.. Ya.

Any advise is appreciate.
