| ![]() Wonder if it is different in people? I know they must feel what we feel when we have surgery and stitches? Wish you had better luck with yours!

| ![]() My little Alex had bilateral hernias before I adopted him. He actually had surgery to repair both hernias just a few weeks before I brought him home. According to his foster mom, the surgery was quite simple. He had to remain relatively calm for a week or so afterwards, so spent a lot of time in a kennel, but healed up just fine and was bouncing around soon after. He is now about 5 months post surgery and you can barely see the scars. I can still feel some of the mesh/stitches under his skin where they repaired the hernias, but my vet says this is normal and does not anticipate any future complications related to the procedure. Just make sure they do a blood panel before the procedure to ensure that your little girl is healthy enough to undergo the anesthesia. From what I was told, recovery is pretty straightforward - just ensure that you have a good elizabethian collar to prevent her from chewing on the sutures. Oh - also maybe get some baby onesies to help keep the surgical sites clean and out of her mouth. I've used onsies on my dogs for other reasons and they are a great post-surgery option.

Thanks so much that was a great post...loved all the advice. I have put onsies on Lexi before too they work great. I am hoping she does as well as she did when we had her spayed. We had know problems and she didn't even bother with the stitches. Hoping for the same...but will be prepaired just in case she gets a little curious ![]()

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | ![]() My mom's dog had a hernia that was repaired at the same time as her spay. The incision to fix the hernia was only slightly larger than she would have had for the spay alone. She did well with her recovery and was walking around two days later like nothing had happened. The biggest risk with the teeth cleaning, spay and hernia repair all come from the anesthesia it's self. As long as you do pre-op blood work to make sure the dog is healthy and your vet is well versed in anesthesia protocols for toy breeds, then everything should be just fine.
