Hernia 1 Attachment(s) This online advert was placed today, he is for sale for £350.(photo below) I was wondering if any of you have had a little Yorkie with a hernia? I have been thinking about getting a mate for Tink, still thinking....hubby saying no, but I saw this advert and not sure if I should 'work on' hubby! I do not know much about hernia's in dogs. (They say they are having the op done) 8 Month old Yorkshire Terrier Dog Puppy for sale. Toby has a Hernia which we will have operated on and could combine having him neutered at the same time if required by the new owner. Would make a friendly pet. Comes with Pedigree. |
If the hernia is fixed, it will not be a problem. But as the ad says, it will make a nice pet. probably shouldn't be bred unless the hernia was caused by something like the mother pulling on the umbilical cord as it was being born. |
Thank you for the reply. Oh no....I do not want to breed...Tink is being spayed at 6 mths. I just wondered if there is long term problems once they have had a hernia, as I put in an internet search for hernia's in Yorkshire Terriers and a few sites on Yorkies have come up with this info: This breed suffers few serious health problems. It does have dental issues such as retained baby teeth. This breed can also suffer from hernia or hypoglycemia. Which I did not know and with all you Yorkie owners I wondered how many have had hernia problems? Thank you:) |
I think he is adorable , also hernias seem to be common and if they are getting it fixed , fine. Is he their dog or are they breeders ? If he is their dog what is their reason for rehoming him. I have 2 yorkies and think they are great company for each other.:D How old is Tink ? I got Lottie when Alfie was about 18 months old and they did great with each other.:) |

Little Ranger had an umbilical hernia. The breeded sold him for $200 less than the other pups in the litter. We planned to have it fixed when he was neutered at about six months. The surgery was delayed one week as my vet got stuck out of town this winter with the horrible weather, and then the day that he had the surgery, the intestine had begun to strangle. My vet said that if we hadn't have fixed it THAT DAY (Thursday), he would have died during the weekend. He had to cut out necrotic (dead) intestine. Ranger never took an off step. It was the scariest thing ever. I don't think it's a big deal, but I would get it fixed at the earliest time you could get him neutered as it is much easier and safer to do it all at the same time. Good luck, he is darling!!!! |
Abby came to me with bilateral hernias (on both sides) The breeder didn't know it until she took the litter in for a health check the day before they were to leave. She offered my money back, but I opted to take her and have them fixed when she's spayed. She's 16 weeks old now and I was really hoping they would mend on their own, but they haven't :( Abby isn't 3 lbs yet, so we are definitely waiting to get her spayed. I hope she doesn't have any complications with the hernia between now and then. I never really worried about it, until I read amandawash's post. The little boy you are considering is a doll! Maybe you could get your vet's opinion. Good Luck. |
Thank you all for the replies.:) I have took on board everything you have all said. Here is the email I got back from the lady: I bought Toby from Nicki a breeder in Shanklin at 8 weeks of age. I was going to show Toby and when he was old enough he was to be my new stud dog. Toby's ears are not correct for showing and he also has a hernia, which we are going to have repaired. He propaably will be 6 - 7 pound when fully grown. He is a very friendly boy and would make a lovely pet. I am reluctantly going to have to sell him, I paid £500 for him. He is now 8 mths old. Tink is 5 mths old. (to be spayed at 6 mths) I have planted the seed with hubby!;) Thanks again. Lesley & Tink:aimeeyork |
