PLease give me some info on hernia ok when I first got hayley i took her to vet and he said she may have lil ugunial hernia on the left side but it was so small that it may go awy we would just watch it. Today I took her to store with me and I noticed when ya pick her up and left her back legs dangle ya can see it a lot and maybe even one on the other side but when legs are supported ya cant see or feel them or at least I cant. I started crying now I am so worried she has to go back thursday for shots and vet can check it then,they dont seem to hurt or be sore in any way. Could this be just a normal thing when ya hold one up with no support under legs? Could it be just fat or something? Please if anyone has any info let me know I am so worried |
hernia's They can recede or not..but don't be worried..hernia's can be repaired at spaying time..rarely causing a problem. |
OK, not claiming to be a hernia expert at all, but I can share the experience I had with this. I had a peke (Chachi) that had a hernia. He was the runt of his litter. I am not aware if there are different types of hernia or anything like that... The way it was explained to us...the diaphragm separates the intestines/stomach from the lungs/heart. The hernia he had was probably because he was the runt and the muscles where the unbilical cord was attached did not form/strengthen at the same rate of the rest of the litter leaving a hole in the diaphragm. The vet said the best thing to do was make sure we kept his hair cut short (he was not a show dog) and keep him cool. If he ever got hot, you could see where it (this little grape-sized spot on his stomach) would kind of protrude a little. Sadly, he died when he was about 6 from complications from it. Again...I don't know that much about it...I can only let you know what I've seen concerning one. And this was 10 years ago...I am sure I am getting things mixed up by now! I would love to read any comments anyone else may have though... |
