Hernia's are common and not really a big deal, but there is a risk anytime they have surgery. All it is is a protrusion of the gut...a small incision, tuck, stitch, close.
Our little Yorkie is almost 13 and just had her teeth cleaned, a few extractions, and some gum tissue tightened around her canines. She came thru just fine. Do you have a good vet?
My Sister-in-law's dog had her hernia repaied when she was spayed. He was bacl to normal in about 2 days. |
