I am looking at a female yorkie pup that is 7 weeks old, but I was told she has an inguinal hernia. She is a big yorkie for her age, being 5 pounds already. I am quite familiar with yorkies, having 6 beautiful babies already(including a rescue). This is an issue that I have never dealt with before.
The breeder says it does not bother her, and sometimes they heal over on their own over time, but sometimes they need surgical repair. I am really reserved over purchasing a pup that I know may need surgery right off the bat, but she is soo cute, that my heart is torn. Any thoughts on this?
