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. |
Thanks for the advice, i check it all the time to make sure its not any bigger and the vet said if it changes colour bring her back, this is so worrying and hope its going to be ok
