I had picked out my Jack Russel Terrier puppy and put a deposit on her when she was about a month old. The day before I was suppose to pick her up to bring her home the breeder called and said that she had popped an inguinal hernia. He was really nice and told me he would do whatever I wanted, money back, another puppy, or he would pay to fix the hernia. I had my heart set on her so I took her anyway. She only had one on one side, but the vet said that she would probably get one on the other side as she grew, and she did. They wouldn't do surgery because she was only 2 lbs and i was told that as long as it could be gently pushed back in and didn't get red or swollen looking that it could be repaired at her spay surgery. That's what i did and then took the bill to the breeder which he happily took care of. She is now 11 years old and never had another hernia problem. |
