Well Baby had an inguainal hernia when I got her, you could see it on her little belly and i was always so scared about it. My vet wanted her to be a little bigger than 2 lbs. when she had her surgery. We decided to do the spaying and fix the hernia at the same time, thus making her only go through the anesthesia once. So we waited and i was just really careful with her, I didn't bathe her because she would stress out so bad and push on her little belly and it would cause the hernia to bulge out so bad. So basically she was a dirty Baby for her first four months...lol..jsut kidding...But anyways, so when she was about 4 months old and about 3.5-4 lbs we had her dual surgery. Everything went fine and she has never suffered any because of it. So basically my vet thought it was best to wait as long as possible (before 6 months of age of course) to just lessen the chance of problems during surgery. So good luck, I hope I was helpful some. Sorry to ramble! |
