Morgan the morkie @ 6 1/2 weeks! 3 Attachment(s) I had another visit tonight. She is still 1.5 lbs. The breeder brought to my attention today that she just noticed a hernia on her. It is down by her leg. She is a nurse and told me what it is called but I don't remember. Something that starts with an "A". I am going to call my vet tomorrow since I want her to go to them and see what he says. I have been reading alot on here about hernias and I know they are fixable and that they sometimes heal themselves. She said they would drop the price on her if she needs to have some work done. She would probably give me my deposit back if I asked but that is sooooo not an option. I am so attached to her there is no way I wouldn't keep her. I am going to do some homework on here to find out more about hernias. I just wanted to share some more pictures. Thanks! Attachment 111663 Attachment 111664 Attachment 111665 |
First, She's beautiful. I see why you love her so much. I'd keep her also. Second, this type of hernia is upsetting but it's common and it can be fixed. Talk to your vet. I had a pup that showed a hernia when she was 8 wks old. Took her to the vet, they showed me how to put it back in place and to watch it. At 12 wks when we took her for the surgery to fix it, Dr P called and said that it had healed itself up and he could not make it herniate. To have it checked when she was spayed. At her spay, the vet checked and she showed no signs of a hernia. Others have to be fixed. http://www.barkbytes.com/medical/med0068.htm Inguinal hernia An inguinal hernia is the result of abdominal organs, fat or tissue protruding through the inguinal ring. Inguinal hernias are presented as skin-covered bulges in the groin. They can be bilateral, involving both sides, or unilateral, involving only one side. Inguinal hernias are more common in females than males, but do occur in both sexes. As with umbilical hernias most inguinal hernias will shrink and disappear as the puppy grows, although you must keep an eye on the size of the hernia(s). Inguinal hernias can also occur in unspayed, middle-aged female dogs. This may occur as the result of stretching of abdominal tissue due to pregnancy, or atrophy of abdominal tissue and musculature due to advanced age. ***************** |
What a cutie! It is great that you have a responsible breeder that will keep you updated about those sorts of issues. I know what you mean about being attatched. I'm so attatched to my baby, I don't know what I'd do without him...and he hasn't even come home yet! :D |
Your puppy is so INCREDIBLY adorable!!!! No wonder you are so excited! Sounds like you have a responsible and caring breeder. :) CONGRATS on this gorgeous "fur baby"! Tammy |
I'm a big fan of mixing the breeds. I have a full-blooded yorkie and a shiz tzu-poodle mix. My shih-poo is a VERY sweet dog. Your Morkie is absolutely precious, precious, precious!!! |
She is sooooo adorable!! How could you not be attached to that face, she is just so cute!! I love her colors too!! Where at in Ohio are you located?? Maybe we can have a playdate sometime when she is older and the weather is nicer. |
AWWWWWW !! she's very lovely !! ;) |
