Hernia? Anyone's pup ever had a hernia around the belly button? I was rubbing Precious's belly and noticed a lump. I moved the fir to see a bump pertruding in the belly area. She goes to a checkup at the vet tomorrow but just wondering if this has happened to you guys. Also, she seems to be in no pain. |
It happens, and is easily fixed, usually with zero complications. Some wait until getting the dog fixed. Just like a human, they can live with it, but it can get larger, and strangle gut, resulting in a bad situation. Good that you are going to the vet |
Our Camden just had a hernia repaired, but it wasn't an umbilical one. I'm not sure how old your baby is, but it's good that you are going to the vet to see what they recommend! Let us know! |
Just got home from the vet. She said the hernia is pretty small and shouldn't be a problem until we get her fixed. She said it's hereditary so recommended she not have puppies. I was never sold on breeding her so I guess that decision was made for me. :) |
