Ive been really upset about this, although I spoke to my vet about the puppy, he hadnt examined her yet. So I took her in and all my puppies in for an early check up. Ive been obsessed as to where this came from. I had all 8 puppies examined............and I mean examined!! They were from three litters.
My first lil girl definitely has an inguinal hernia and my vet agrees with my sisters vet, it is large enough it should be repaired but he want to wait until she is bit older, she is almost 12 weeks.
After careful exam of all puppies he found a very small hernia on another little girl shes 8 weeks, he says its very small and needs examined in a couple weeks to see if it really requires surgery. She is from a different litter then the first girl so its my stud.
My vet told me to stop the lines here, any yorkie from him should never be bred because it can be passed on, he said these girls would make wonderful pets but make sure they are never bred. And lastly to faze my boy out of my program, all babies to be spay or neutered until then. |
Hi Kelly. Inguinal hernias are very hereditary. They tend to run in lines very strongly. I have had them way in the past and since I spayed/neutered everything down from those lines, I am no longer getting them. Good luck.
