So I havent been on here for a long time. I have been very busy with moving and tring to find a new job. I just wanted to post to get some opinions about some information I have recently found out.

Just as a reminder of my situation, I bought my girl Alice from sweetyorkiekisses.com. She had giardia and coccidia when i got her and the breeder refused to help pay for her medical bills. Alice almost died when I got her as well. she has been on medications and still has signs of giardia. anyways, so i went to a new vet today because I just moved and I found out that alice has a umbilical cord hernia as well as Luxating Patella (stage 2). Alice will get the umbilical cord hernia fixed with her spay thats comming up, but I was wondering if this could have been avoided by the breeder.

I'm also kind of upset because I asked my old vet about the bulgde on her stomach a long time ago and they told me it was nothing. But my new vet felt it immediatly without me saying anything. she also could feel the knee problem and recomended me to an orthopedic surgeon. I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me and what to do. also if the breeder could be responsible for the hernia. Also, the vet said I should get her knee fixed within the next year or she will get aurthritus (sp?). how much does this percedure normally cost? Alice is almost 5 months old and she has been through so much. I'm so happy for all the adivce I got last time I was here. Everyone has so much information to give so thats why i'm turning here first.
