I had a female pup born last year that I had to pull when she was born.
I think I pulled a little to hard and caused the inguinal hernia.
She went in for her first puppy shot they found it and by the time she had her last puppy shot done, it was gone.
A small inguinal hernia is not a major concern.
They are more common in female then males.
Most will heal up on there own or they can be repaired when pup is spayed.
If it’s large tear then it needs to be watched closely.
If left protruding it can cause strangulation to the bowels.
