hernia Can you post a photo to show exactly where they are located..I was visualizing in the groin from what you described? |
The two common sites for hernias are the groin (inguinal ) or the navel (umbilical). Hernias have a hereditary basis, because there is a genetic predisposition for delay closure of the abdominal ring. Sometimes the navel hernia is casued by the mom cutting the cord to close to the stomach. Inguinal hernias are more common in females dogs. A buldge in the groin may not be seen until the after the bitch has been bred or becomes old, in which case a pregnant or diseased uterus may be incarcerated in the hernia. These hernias should be repaired. Ones in males might close on their own, if not it's a easy repair. Navel hernias might go away by 6 months if not have them repaired. If you can 't push the hernia back in they are called incarcerated .The blood gets cut off and causes painfull swelling at the grion or navel and you need to get to the vets asap. ( from my vet book) |

Thank you for confirming what I have seen, experienced, read, and been told by very experienced show/breeders and my vet about these hernias. |
1 Attachment(s) IF the inguinal hernia is hereditary, is it maternal or paternal? Here's a picture of my little girl who has an inguinal hernia. She's 6-months old and I'm still debating selling her as a pet or keeping her as my little buddy. |

i have an english bulldog who had an umbilical hernia. We got it fixed when we spayed her, and our vet recommended against breeding with any type of hernia. Like Lisa said, Yorkies may be different. My vet also checked my yorkie closely for a hernia when I bought her and took her for her first vet check? She was fine, though. Let us know what you find out! |
