Keep Jack in your thoughts A year ago, Jack was diagnosed with a perianal hernia. The vet said it could be fixed with a relatively minor surgery, but he also said Jack could quite likely live with it with no problems. I decided to wait. Well, lately it's been giving him problems. Yesterday, he was straining but unable to poop for about 2-3 hours. He refused treats. Didn't want to walk. A lump by his butt that is normally soft was hard. I took him to pet emergency, but in the lobby his symptoms vanished. The lump went down. He started accepting treats. Later, he was able to poop. I decided to wait until today to talk to my vet (waiting for a call back). Anyway, my guess is he'll recommend the surgery. I didn't want to do it last year because it was so soon after his leg surgery, but now feels like a good time. I'll let you guys know what the vet says, but keep him in your thoughts. |
Awe Poor baby Jack. I will say a little Prayer for the baby :( Give him loads of kisses from me, Coco and Rocco and we will all keep him in our thoughts. |
I hope everything works out okay for Jack. Poor little guy. |
Poor Jack. I really hope everything will go well with the sugery, if the vet recomends it. I hope and pray this little guy will be ok. Mine is waiting for his surgery dat too, for liver shunt. :getwellso Give Jack lots of kisses and hugs Maria, Boo-Boo and Pheoebe. |

We're thinking of you Jack!!! Don't want anything to happen to our handsome, long-haired boy!! |

I will keep him in my prayers. Maya has the same thing. She was diagnosed about a year ago and I went to the surgeon and she said we could take a wait and see approach. SHe did say it was uncommon in spayed females and usually affects males more. I have just kept an eye on her. The surgeon said the surgery wasn't bad and she would be on stool softeners for awhile after surgery. I think she told me it be about 1,000.00. |
I hope everything works out well for little Jack. Max and Abbie send hugs |
Jack and your family will definately be in my thoughts & prayers! |
Jack, you cutie pie, I hope you get better real soon and won't have to have surgery. :getwell: They sure do worry us when there's something wrong. Take Care.... |

He originally told me that his main concern would be his bladder slipping into the 'hole' and requiring emergency surgery, but he said it would be unusual for that to happen. He quoted me at around $700 a year ago. Fortunately, I budgeted for it. It was nice to have the advance warning. Still waiting for his call. Arggh. |
Thinking of Jack at this time...poor baby~ Sending you lots of love and prayers!!!! Jack is a strong boy!!!!!! He will bounce right back!!!! We love ya JAck! |
