Need Help With Embilical Hernia Hello. I have a female having puppies right know. We have been raising yorkies for 5 years. I have never had a puppy with an embilical ? hernia. I think her first one may have one. There is a tiny white bulge where the cord connects to the belly. Is there any thing I can do for it to help. Will it damage her for ever or could it be repaired at a later time. thanks in advance for your answers. scott |
I am sure some breeders will come on to advise, but can you call your vet? |
hernia's These types of hernia's are quite easy to repair..don't worry yoruself..besides it is too early to tell if it is really a hernia..might be gone in a week..if not you can tell the new owner to have it repaired with the pup is spayed/neutered..never had to have one repaired before that time. If it worries you, tehn let the vet fix it at 8 weeks....sometimes I will get 2 in a year, then go for 5 years and never see them. |
Thanks Pat I was hoping you would be on here. I really am glad to have you guys to answer questions. thanks agian she just had a male looks fine. Pics in a day or two. |
We have another boy. thats 3 and there is more to come. |
without knowing how big the bulge really is, I'd have to say that it's still too early to tell. If I remember correctly, Gracie pulled a little to roughly...IMO and a couple of the pups I was concerned about having a hernia. Nope, not one had it. What I considered rough is probably just the norm. |

Thanks you guys. Well I think I was just a little over protective. I just check puppies and the small bulge has gone down. Probally just some swelling. And Katie-Did just had another boy. That makes 4. Watching her to see if any more signs of pushing. THANKS AGIAN SCOTT |
I think she is all done. We have 4 boys and 1 girl. Just gave her about 3 oz. of cottage cheese and a small helping of puppy food. She ate it all and drank some water. Puppies are all doing fine. |
Congratulations! So happy it all turned out well! How exciting. :D |
Congratulations! Can't wait to see pictures. |
