 Inquinal hernia experience?
I have a female puppy who was diagnosed with a Inquinal hernia. It will need surgical repair. It is rather large and they said it could be potentially life threatening due to the size of it, a chance of the bowell falling thru it and causing gangrene, blockage etc. She is happy active and the picture of health otherwise and will be good as new after surgery as long as there are no complications in surgery. She will be offered as a pet puppy.
My question is have any of you breeders experienced this? I understand it is heritary and can be passed on and it would not be something you want in your lines.
The mommy and daddy have had 11 pups total together in the past and this is the first occurance of this defect.
Ive never had this diagnosis before with any pups(of about 40 total). At this point I dont know if its from mommy or daddy.
Do any of you have experience with this or have personal views? |
