Hernias Are Yorkie puppies susceptible to developing hernias? I read a recent post about a new puppy that had a hernia when the new mommy received him. Is this a common problem? What do you look for? |
I may be completely wrong here, but I always believed the hernias usually occur at/just after birth and may have something to do with the umbilical cord. I'm curious to see what others think. |
Hernia's can happen to any dog. There are a few different kinds actually, located in different area's of the body. The umbilical hernia is common and not really a problem at all. Its easily fixed during the spay or neuter. Its not painful either and the puppy has no idea its there. |
